Plank

Not to be confused with the obstacle on the Main Door called Plank Lock.

The Plank is an item in Granny. It was added to the game in Version 1.2, and Version 1.7.

Appearance

The Planks appear as long, wide but thin bars of wood that has gone completely desaturated.

Mechanics

Purpose and Usage

Planks block the entrances to the Nursery and the Old House Closet. They can be removed using the Hammer, and then picked up. Their main use as an item is covering up the Unstable Flooring at the Attic, so the Player could reach the Jail.

Spawning

Three Planks always spawn in these two locations.

At the entrance of the Nursery.
At the entrance of the Old House Closet.

Trivia

As of Version 1.8, the Plank is the biggest item in the game.
Plank is the only item that longer than the Player.
- For this reason, the length of the Plank can be approximately 2 meters.
Even if a Plank is placed over the Unstable Flooring, trying to cross it will still result in it breaking apart.
- You should be more cautious while crossing the Plank since you can still fall to your death/knockout if you can't cross it with balance.
Although crouching on the Plank seems safer than just walking across, it is a very bad idea for numerous reasons.
- However, after V1.7.9.3 was released, crossing the Plank by Crouching is much easier as the movement speed of Crouching has increased.
Granny can knock down Planks, this is usually exploited at the Attic, where you can throw an item near planks there.
- There is also a glitch, where you can get items in the Jail without using a Plank. For more information about it, go here.
Trying to use any other item to pave a path across the Unstable Flooring will display a message on the screen: "Maybe I can use one of the planks".
- Placing a Plank while the message is still on the screen will make the message stay until you exit into the Main Menu.
You can use the Planks from the Old House Closet to go across the Unstable Flooring.
- Even though the Planks at the Old House Closet are initially too small to be used, picking them up will make them grow to the same size as the Planks at the Nursery.
If the player stands up while they are on the Plank, faulty collision detection will almost always result in them being thrown off of the edge.
If Granny comes upstairs, the player has no means of getting away from her. She will catch up to you and knock you out, no matter what side of the Plank you are on.
The Planks are so large, sometimes its glitches into walls, and get stuck in them.
The Plank is the second item in the game that has multiple clones of itself. The first being the Tranquilizer Darts, and the third being the Shotgun Ammo.
Throwing some items on the Unstable Flooring and on top of the Plank makes no noise. Which make it easier for players if you don't want to make a noise on the Attic.
- However, if an item was placed below the Plank, it will fall through the Unstable Flooring.
- Prior to Version 1.7.9.3, there is a glitch where if you crouch on the Plank when crossing the Unstable Flooring, and uncrouch on the Plank, it will result in you slipping off the Plank, and falling to your doom.
- Sometimes, when you lure Granny to knock down the Planks, she will be lured to the Special Room, this causes her to clip through the door if it hasn't been unlocked.
Its textures are different when picking it up in Nightmare.
