Sticks are a common crafting material obtained by crafting two wooden planks, breaking leaves, fishing, or trading with fletcher villagers. They are widely used in crafting tools, weapons, fences, ladders, torches, and many other items.

Sticks can also be obtained by breaking dead bushes or bamboo, making them renewable even without trees. Bamboo is an especially efficient source, as two bamboo crafts into one Stick, and bamboo farms can quickly produce large amounts.

Sticks are also used as fuel in a furnace, though they burn for a short duration. Due to their versatility in crafting, trading, and fuel usage, sticks are one of the most essential and widely used resources in Minecraft.
