How to make a Stripped Cherry Log in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a stripped cherry log with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a stripped cherry log is a new item that was introduced in Minecraft 1.20. A stripped cherry log is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

How to get a Stripped Cherry Log in Survival Mode

You can add a stripped cherry log to your inventory in Survival mode by stripping the bark from a cherry log with an axe. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Cherry Tree

First, you need to find a cherry tree in your Minecraft world. Cherry trees are usually found in the Cherry Grove biome.

3. Strip the Bark with the Axe

Now, you need to strip the bark from a cherry log with your axe. The game control to strip the bark with an axe depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the cherry log.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the cherry log.
For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the cherry log.

You should now see the bark removed from the cherry log. This turns the cherry log into a stripped cherry log.

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the stripped cherry log.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the stripped cherry log.
For Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
