Blue Wool
Blue Wool gives builders a bright blue block that also blocks vibrations (sounds sculk sensors detect) and crafts into blue beds, carpets and banners.
Description
Blue Wool serves builders as a bright blue block and crafts into blue beds (beds require wool of one matching color), blue carpets, blue banners, and paintings made from any wool color. A wool block placed between a sculk sensor and a vibration source blocks that vibration, and sculk sensors cannot detect Blue Wool being placed, broken, or walked on. Blue Wool ignites easily, resists explosions barely, stacks to 64 blocks of one color per slot, and smelts 0.5 items per block as furnace fuel in the Java Edition.

Craft Blue Wool from any wool
Place any wool block together with a blue dye on the crafting grid to receive one Blue Wool block.

Dye a sheep, then shear it
Right-click a sheep while holding a blue dye, then use shears on the adult sheep to collect 1–3 Blue Wool.

Visit an ancient city
Search ancient city structures, where Blue Wool generates naturally alongside cyan and light blue wool.

Frequently asked questions
Can Blue Wool be re-dyed into another color?
Yes. Wool of any color can be re-dyed into any other color on the crafting grid, so a Blue Wool block plus any dye gives the wool of that dye's color.
Is Blue Wool renewable?
Yes. Sheep drop wool of their own color, so one sheep dyed blue yields 1–3 Blue Wool per shearing and 1 Blue Wool if killed un-sheared.
How many wool colors exist in Minecraft?
Sixteen. White wool is the undyed base block and the other fifteen colors, Blue Wool included, are dyed variants.
Does Blue Wool work as furnace fuel?
In the Java Edition, yes: one wool block smelts 0.5 items in a furnace. The fuel use is a Java Edition feature.
