This is the main page whose information applies to the Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.
For the differences of this information on Old-gen console and 3DS, see Legacy:Wooden Crate.

The Wooden Crate is a pre-Hardmode crate that can be obtained by fishing in any biome, at any height. It is the lowest tier of standard crate, having the least value if sold directly. Its Hardmode counterpart is the Pearlwood Crate.

Only one type of item out of the ores and bars can drop, not both a type of ore and a type of bar. The table above implies otherwise with the ores and the bars being in separate rows, but that is for readability purposes. The chance that a type of ore or bar is dropped is 1/4 (25%).
(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) A Wooden Crate will always contain at least one type of item from the first six groups (or any but the last two groups) displayed in the loot table above. This means that at least one type of item from the following list will always drop from a Wooden Crate:

Wooden Crates have a 48.8% chance of not initially rolling anything from the above groups, in which case the crate loot is rerolled until one of the above items drops. This means the above items have a 1.95x higher effective drop rate than is listed in the above table.
The Extractinator will never be dropped alongside the Aglet/Step Stool/Climbing Claws/Guide to Plant Fiber Cordage/Radar.

Trivia

Wooden Crates are able to drop rare items from Surface Chests, making those items renewable. However, none of the early-game weapons, such as the Blowpipe or the Wooden Boomerang, can be obtained from Wooden Crates.
