Overview
Brush is a tool in the Tools category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. It cannot be stacked, so each Brush occupies a full inventory slot on its own. With a base durability of 64 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
Its 64-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. When enchanted, it can carry 3 different enchantments, including Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing.
