Are there any advantages to building a wooden house?

Question

What are the advantages/disadvantages making a minecraft house built out of wooden planks?

Answer

Advantages

  • Wood is quicker to obtain than cobblestone, as you get 4 wooden planks for each wood block.

  • Wood can be farmed (more easily than cobblestone can be), meaning you don't need to destroy the landscape to build your house.

  • Transported as logs rather than planks, you can carry a lot more in you inventory (as you can 'expand' the logs into planks as you need them.

  • Wood fits better with bookcases, chests etc. to give a more homely aesthetic.

Disadvantages

Lightning Strike

  • Fire caused by lightning

  • Creeper explosions will do more damage

  • Fire caused by lava, expected or otherwise

  • Farming trees can be tedious, especially if you have to spend extra time removing the branches from large trees

  • Fire caused by your own flint and steel in a moment of carelessness
