If you want to make wood planks in Minecraft, you first need at least one wood block. It
does not matter what type of wood block you use. Oak, spruce, birch, and jungle wood blocks
are all equally useable.
Once you have at least one wood block, place the wood block in an ingredient space of the
crafting grid of your inventory or crafting table. Where you place the block within the
crafting table doesn't matter, as long as the wood block is placed in an ingredient
space and not the product space.
After placing the wood block in the crafting grid, you will see wood planks become available
in the product space. Right click the wood planks to make them. You can shift-right click
on the product space if you want to use all of the wood blocks you have placed in the
ingredient space. And this is how you make wood planks in Minecraft.
