I'd estimate that about 95 percent of my Minecraft worlds begin with me collecting a single block of Oak Wood. It's the mother-block - the block from which everything else in the game develops. Without collecting wood, it's almost impossible to play Minecraft. Seriously, try playing Minecraft without wood. It'll be about as much fun as playing blindfolded, or with me screaming "USE WOOD YOU FOOL!" into your ear the entire time.
Wood was one of the very first blocks added to the game - preceded only by grass, cobblestone, dirt, planks and stone. First introduced in super-early version 0.0.14a_01 on 28 May 2009, oak wood was originally called "log" and dropped wooden planks when broken. It was almost nine months until logs became collectible in their own right, and nearly two years before the introduction of oak's cousins birch and spruce.
There are 600 different species of oak tree in the real world, split into families like "stone oaks", "silky oaks" and "she-oaks". For many hundreds of years, oaks have been a symbol of strength and endurance - you'll find them on German coins, the logo of the National Trust in the UK, and on medals and ribbons in the US Army. Judging by how many countries have named the oak as their national tree, they're one of the most popular kinds of plant in the world!
