How do you get Loom in Minecraft?

Loom is crafted from String and Oak Planks at a Crafting Table, in a single step. It also comes from Village (Shepherd house), not just the recipe above.

How many Loom can you stack?

64 Loom fill one slot, and filling it costs 128 String and 128 Oak Planks: 64 crafts. A double chest of Loom comes to 3,456, spread over 54 slots.

How long does Loom take to break?

Loom has hardness 2.5, and it has blast resistance 2.5. Matching numbers put Loom in the ordinary group, the group creepers get through, and it is no exception. An axe is the right tool for Loom, and any tier of it collects the block. Java 26.2 stores Loom with those figures unchanged, so it reads the same here.

Can Loom be used as fuel?

Loom in the bottom slot gives you 15 seconds of heat, which is 1.5 items apiece. Set against its recipe, Loom carries the heat that String and Oak Planks would have given. Oak Planks alone burns 15 seconds, and Loom carries that heat forward.

Loom at a glance

Minecraft files Loom under Utility Blocks: a block you get from crafting and Village (Shepherd house). Carrying Loom is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. It doubles as furnace fuel, good for 1.5 smelts each and 96 from a full stack.

On the hardness scale Loom sits at 2.5. An axe is the right tool for Loom, and any tier of it collects the block. It holds up against explosions exactly as well as it does against a pickaxe, and no better. It sits between Lodestone and Magenta Banner in Utility Blocks, number 195 of 340 there.

Building with it

Two string and two planks make a loom, and it is the only sensible way to put patterns on a banner: pick the pattern from a list instead of memorising a crafting recipe. Shepherd houses in villages already have one, and a banner can take six layers before the loom stops accepting more.
