FAQ
Is Black Wool flammable?
Yes, wool of any color burns readily and will catch fire from lava or nearby flames, so keep it away from open flame builds.
Does Fortune increase wool drops?
No, wool drop rates are not affected by Fortune or Looting; mining or shearing always yields the standard amount.
Why is Black Wool useful near a Warden?
Wool blocks, including black, muffle sounds and prevent vibrations from reaching sculk sensors, helping players sneak past a Warden.
Can I get Black Wool without a sheep?
Yes, crafting four String in a 2x2 grid produces plain wool, which can then be dyed black with an Ink Sac.
