Black Wood
by BAARAN2
Black Wood adds a black wood type that trees can produce, with planks, logs and boards made from it for building and crafting.
What it does
Saplings grow into trees that yield black wood, which can be turned into the usual wood products. The mod adds the wood to the early game instead of leaving it to later stages, so a world does not need a rare source to reach it. Among the boards it adds, the black one is the only colored wood, and the mod contrasts it with pale oak, whose color differs between its outside and inside.
Black Wood is a Fabric mod for client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-09-05.

What the author says
This mod adds the black board to the game, one of the rare colored boards not available in Minecraft. Just like the pale oak board, this one is colored differently on the outside and inside, but what really matters is the color on the inside. You can produce many products with this board, as well as things produced…
