Blue Carpet at a glance

Blue Carpet, a block out of crafting, sits under Utility Blocks. Stack Blue Carpet 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest. A furnace accepts Blue Carpet, though 3 go into one smelt, 21 items to a stack.

Blue Carpet owes its colour to blue dye. A cornflower or lapis lazuli each give one. Hardness 0.1 is what Blue Carpet is worth in the block data. For Blue Carpet the blast resistance is not separate: it is 0.1 as well. It sits between Blue Bed and Blue Concrete in Utility Blocks, number 53 of 340 there.

Frequently asked questions about Blue Carpet

  1. Blue Wool going into Blue Carpet, the recipe this answer describes

    How do you get Blue Carpet in Minecraft?

    Blue Carpet is crafted from Blue Wool at a Crafting Table, and each craft returns 3.

  2. Blue Carpet beside a furnace, which is where its 3.35 seconds of burning go

    Can Blue Carpet be used as fuel?

    Blue Carpet is a small fuel: 3.35 seconds apiece, against the 10 seconds a furnace spends on one item, so 3 of them cover a single smelt. Nothing on Blue Carpet is wasted: the furnace keeps what is left of a Blue Carpet and spends it on the next item.

  3. Blue Carpet on its own, since nothing in the game is crafted from it

    What is Blue Carpet used for?

    Blue Carpet is a thin blue decorative floor covering crafted from Blue Wool. Mobs cannot spawn on carpet, and it can be placed on llamas as decoration.

  4. 64 Blue Carpet drawn together, the full slot the answer counts

    How many Blue Carpet can you stack?

    64 Blue Carpet fills a slot, and that slot costs 44 Blue Wool, since each one returns 3, which is 22 crafts at the crafting table.

  5. How long does Blue Carpet take to break?

    The two numbers behind Blue Carpet are 0.1 for mining and 0.1 against explosions. It with matching values is as easy to blow up as it is to mine. The game lists no preferred tool for Blue Carpet, so your hand on it is as good as any. Java 26.2 sets Blue Carpet at these values, and we copied them onto it.

  6. The blue dye that goes into Blue Carpet, beside Blue Carpet itself

    What dye does Blue Carpet need?

    Blue dye is what Blue Carpet needs. A cornflower or lapis lazuli each give one for Blue Carpet.

Building with it

Blue Carpet comes from blue wool, dyed with a cornflower or lapis lazuli. It is dark enough to anchor a room and cheap enough to use across a whole floor once a lapis supply is running. Two wool give three carpets, and the thin block leaves the ceiling height untouched.

In practice

Carpets stack sixteen to a block visually but only one layer deep, and they can be placed on top of a llama for saddlebags. Blue is one of the strongest colours in the set, so a blue carpet runner down a stone hall reads as a proper entrance rather than as decoration.
