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

In Minecraft, a spruce 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.

Let’s explore how to add a spruce log to your inventory.

Where to find a Spruce Log in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a spruce log in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19.3
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get a Spruce Log in Survival Mode

You can add a spruce log to your inventory in Survival mode by chopping down a spruce tree. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Spruce Tree

First, you need to find a spruce tree in your Minecraft world. Spruce trees are usually found in the Taiga or Old Growth Pine Taiga biomes.

2. Hold an Axe

Although you can use your hand to chop down a spruce tree, we prefer to use a tool such as an axe. These are the axes you can choose from:

How to make a Diamond Axe
How to make a Golden Axe
How to make a Iron Axe
How to make a Stone Axe
How to make a Wooden Axe
How to make a Netherite Axe

In this example, we are going to use a diamond axe because it is a faster tool to chop down a spruce tree.

3. Chop the Tree Trunk

The game control to chop down the tree trunk of a spruce tree depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the spruce tree.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the spruce tree.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the spruce tree.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the spruce tree.

You will need to continue to chop until a small spruce log finally appears.

4. Pick up the Spruce Log

Make sure you pick up the spruce log before it disappears.

Once you pick up the spruce log, it will appear in your hotbar.

A spruce log is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
