What Is Black Carpet in Minecraft?

Black Carpet is a flat, paper-thin black floor covering made from Black Wool. It is only 1/16 of a block tall - so thin that items and mobs can stand on it, but it barely raises the floor height at all.

How Does Black Carpet Work?

Mobs cannot spawn on carpets, so a carpet-covered floor is safe from mob spawns.
It is flammable - fire can spread from it, so be careful near flames.
It can be placed on any solid surface.
Any tool or your fist breaks it instantly.
