Description

Green Carpet is a thin wool variant in Minecraft: placing two green wool side by side on the crafting grid yields three carpets in both Java and Bedrock. Green Carpet has a hardness of 0.1, a blast resistance of 0.1, and breaks in 0.15 seconds with any tool or a bare hand, so shears save no time. Green Carpet also generates naturally on the floors of plains villages and desert villages.

Green Carpet works as a spawn-proof floor covering, because the 1/16-block hitbox prevents mobs from spawning on top. Light passes through Green Carpet without dimming, which lets builders hide a light-emitting block under a seamless green floor. A carpet layer on top of a fence or a wall lets players jump up, while animals and mobs still refuse to cross the fence line. Placed on a llama, Green Carpet shows a pattern with a creeper's face — one of 16 unique designs, one per carpet color.

Guide

How to craft and use Green Carpet in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Place two green wool in the crafting grid

    Put two green wool side by side in a row of a crafting grid; two green wool is the complete ingredient list for one batch.

  2. 2

    Collect three Green Carpets

    Take three Green Carpets from the crafting output slot; the recipe works the same way in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

  3. 3

    Put Green Carpet on any block

    Place Green Carpet on top of any block, including non-solid blocks; grass, ferns, or vines underneath break as the carpet settles on the block below.

  4. 4

    Decorate a llama with Green Carpet

    Equip a llama with Green Carpet to add a patterned rug with a creeper's face to the llama's back.

Green Carpet burns and barely smelts

Green Carpet is flammable, catches fire from lava, and one Green Carpet smelts only 0.335 items in a Java Edition furnace, so carpets are a fuel of last resort.

Frequently asked questions

Do shears break Green Carpet faster?

No. Unlike wool, Green Carpet breaks at the same speed with any tool or a bare hand, because carpets have no assigned tool.

How do I turn other carpets green?

In Java Edition, combine any carpet with one green dye for one Green Carpet. In Bedrock Edition, surround one green dye with eight white carpets to craft eight Green Carpets.

Can a hopper collect items under Green Carpet?

Yes. A hopper beneath Green Carpet still collects items lying on the surface, because hoppers grab items from less than a full block above in Java Edition and less than 3/4 of a block in Bedrock Edition.

Do sculk sensors detect Green Carpet?

No. Placing, breaking, or walking on Green Carpet creates no vibration, because carpets dampen vibrations the same way wool does.

Can villagers sell Green Carpet?

Yes. Shepherd villagers sell carpets in Java Edition since 1.14 and in Bedrock Edition since 1.11.0.
