What Is Black Wool in Minecraft?

Black Wool is a fluffy, very dark block. You can dye White Wool with Black Dye to make it, or find it naturally by shearing black sheep.

How Does Black Wool Work?

  • Shears are the fastest way to break it, but any tool or your fist works.
  • It is flammable - fire spreads to it quickly and it will burn away completely.
  • Wool blocks vibrations - a Sculk Sensor cannot detect sounds through a wool block.

How to Get Black Wool

How to Collect Black Wool

  • Shear a black sheep to get 1–3 Black Wool directly.
  • Shears break wool fastest, but you can use any tool or your hand.

How to Use Black Wool

Building with Black Wool

  • Use it for dark builds, rooftops, and decorative walls.
  • Craft it into Black Carpet (2 wool = 3 carpet) to cover floors.
  • Craft a Black Bed with 3 Black Wool and 3 any Planks.
  • Craft a Black Banner with 6 Black Wool and 1 Stick.

Black Wool Tips

  • Keep it away from fire and lava - it burns and the fire spreads to nearby wool.
  • Place it under a Note Block to make a guitar sound.
  • Use it as vibration insulation: Sculk Sensors cannot detect sounds on the other side of a wool wall.
