Build and technical notes

• Birch Log is an axis-oriented structural block. Rotate it for beams and supports, or use it as an input for the related wood set where a matching recipe exists.
• The recorded collision shape is “block”. Collision is a gameplay property, so do not infer it only from the block's visible model.
• Java data contains 3 block-state combinations for Birch Log. Commands that need one exact orientation or state must specify properties separately from the base ID.
• Its recorded blast resistance is 2; this is separate from hardness and should be used for explosion-risk comparisons.

Java and Bedrock differences

• Birch Log exists in both tracked editions. Java uses minecraft:birch_log; Bedrock uses minecraft:birch_log.
