Description

Blue Cushion is a decoration item that places a low, sit-on entity instead of a solid block. Pressing use on a placed Blue Cushion seats a player on a shape just 0.249 blocks tall. Players craft Blue Cushion from three Blue Wool Slabs in a horizontal row, recolor any cushion with blue dye, or pick up cushions in abandoned camps, where cushions usually spawn one to two blocks from a campfire. Blue Cushion is renewable, stacks to 16, and arrived in Java Edition 26.3 and Bedrock Edition 26.50.

Sitting on Blue Cushion shields a player from knockback, geysers, pistons, and portals until the player dismounts. Any attack, projectile, or piston push breaks a placed cushion instantly — even attacks dealing zero damage — and a broken cushion always drops itself. Cushions carry no collision box, so Blue Cushion can rest on surfaces shorter than a full block, including snow layers, enchanting tables, slabs, and stairs.

How to craft and use Blue Cushion in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect three Blue Wool Slabs

    Gather three Blue Wool Slabs — the full ingredient count for one cushion.

  2. 2

    Craft Blue Cushion

    Place the three Blue Wool Slabs in a horizontal row on the crafting grid to receive one Blue Cushion.

  3. 3

    Dye an existing cushion blue

    Put any cushion together with blue dye on the crafting grid — the result is a Blue Cushion.

  4. 4

    Place Blue Cushion

    Use the item on any flat surface, including slabs, stairs, and snow layers; the cushion appears as an entity about a quarter of a block tall.

  5. 5

Emergency furnace fuel

Four cushions smelt one item in a regular furnace, with a burn time of 50 game ticks (2.5 seconds).

Frequently asked questions

How fast can players travel on Blue Cushions?

Holding the use key along a line of cushions spaced two blocks apart reaches 15 m/s. Spamming the use key reaches 45 m/s, and remapping the use key to a keyboard key reaches 60 m/s.

Do sculk sensors detect Blue Cushion?

Yes. Unlike wool-based blocks, Blue Cushion does not dampen vibrations, so placing, breaking, or sitting on a cushion registers on sculk sensors and sculk shriekers.

What happens when the block under a Blue Cushion disappears?

A placed cushion checks for a support block every 100 game ticks (5 seconds). Without support, Blue Cushion breaks shortly after the check and drops itself.

Does Blue Cushion survive fire and lava?

No. Fire destroys cushions, and lava breaks a cushion after a few seconds because cushions are entities with finite health.
