A/N: Here's the third installment! Y'know, I'm not sure "essentiality" is a word, but I'm just gonna roll with it.

Think about this for a moment. If there was no wood - like no wood anywhere - you could pretty much do nothing except punch animals to death, dig up dirt, and die. Wood is quite literally the building block (heh) of Minecraft civilizations.


When newly spawned, it's good to see

If you can spot a nearby tree.

With nothing, not a small possession,

You can never make progression

Unless you can collect some wood.

It may seem simple, but it's good.

Diverse in either shade or form,

Steadfast through the raging storm,

Split to planks, and then to sticks,

Used for weapons, tools, and tricks.

Made for doors and crafting tables,

Sticks and chests and stairs and labels,

Trapdoors, buttons, pressure plates,

Wooden fences, wooden gates.

Tools are used to acquire stone,

Upgraded to iron soon.

And always wood must be right there

For sticks for handles.

(Wear and tear.)

Progress made continues on,

Diamonds gotten, diamonds gone,

Wood acquired and saplings planted

(Wood we always take for granted).

Obsidian used to make a frame-

Nether portals make a name.

Eyes of Ender used to find

Location of a stronghold's time,

The portal frame is activated,

Not one ever hesitated.

And when the Ender Dragon's gone,

The goal of life half taken on,

The Wither slain with diamond sword,

The purpose of existence filled,

Life may be well and fine and good,

But you'd get nowhere without wood.


A/N: I feel like this one isn't quite the same, rhythmically, as the others. Good/bad? You tell me. Thanks for the recent feedback!

(It took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to spell "rhythmically".)
