Steps to Chop Down a Tree

1. Find a Tree
First, you need to find a tree. There are 6 different types of trees that you can chop down to get wood - oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, and dark oak.

2. Target the Tree Trunk
Next, move closer to the tree and position your pointer (the plus sign) somewhere on the tree trunk. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window.

3. Chop the Tree
Now you can chop down the tree. The game control to chop the tree is holding .

You will need to continue to chop until the block breaks.

After you break it, the block of wood will float on the ground. Make sure you pick up the wood before it disappears.

Once you pick up the wood, it will appear in the first empty box in your hotbar.

Wood is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.

Congratulations, you just learned how to chop down a tree in Minecraft and you have also unlocked an achievement.
