In Minecraft, Wooden Planks are  an essential crafting material used to make a wide range of other items. Wooden Planks can be made with or without the use of a Crafting Table, since you only need one slot to make them.
To make a Wooden Plank, you just need one cube of any type of wood. Place the wood cube into any slot of the crafting section of your inventory, or the Crafting Table, and you’ll get four pieces of Wooden Planks from it.
