Green Cushion — Minecraft block

Green Cushion

Green Cushion is a placeable entity (not a solid block) that seats a player on almost any flat surface in Minecraft.

Description

Green Cushion is a placeable entity rather than a solid block — a seat that behaves like a painting or an item frame, added to Java Edition in version 26.3. Three green wool slabs in one horizontal row on a crafting table yield one Green Cushion, and any cushion combined with green dye recolors into a Green Cushion. Abandoned camps generate Green Cushions naturally, usually within 1–2 blocks of a campfire, and a broken Green Cushion always drops the item itself. Any attack breaks a Green Cushion instantly — even a projectile or a zero-damage hit from a non-player mob — so mining tools never come into play.

Pressing use on a placed Green Cushion seats the player, and the seated player ignores knockback, geysers, pistons, and portals until standing up. The 0.249-block-tall seat rests without collision on any surface under one block in height, including slabs, stairs, and snow layers. Four Green Cushions smelt a single item in a regular furnace, with each cushion burning for 50 game ticks (2.5 seconds). A line of cushions spaced two blocks apart moves a seated player at 15 m/s — faster than horse riding — and spamming the use key reaches 45 m/s. Fire, lava, and a piston push destroy a Green Cushion, and the seat also breaks once fully covered by suffocation-causing blocks.

Guide

How to craft and use a Green Cushion in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the cushion

    Open a crafting table, lay three green wool slabs in one horizontal row, and take the Green Cushion from the output slot.

  2. 2

    Place the seat

    Use the Green Cushion on any flat surface except fluids; the seat settles even on slabs, stairs, and snow layers under one block tall.

  3. 3

    Sit down

    Press use on the placed Green Cushion to sit down; knockback, geysers, pistons, and portals stop affecting the seated player.

  4. 4

    Recolor spare cushions

    Put any cushion together with green dye on a crafting grid to turn that cushion into a Green Cushion.

  5. 5

    Scavenge abandoned camps

    Search within 1–2 blocks of every campfire in an abandoned camp, where all 16 cushion colors generate naturally.

Keep a support block under the seat

Green Cushion breaks shortly after the block underneath disappears — the game rechecks support every 100 game ticks (5 seconds) — and fire, lava, and a piston push destroy the seat as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do sculk sensors detect a Green Cushion?

Green Cushions do not dampen vibrations the way wool-based blocks do: placing, breaking, walking, sprinting, jumping, sitting down, and standing up all create detectable vibrations for sculk sensors and sculk shriekers.

Is the Green Cushion available in Bedrock Edition?

Green Cushions arrived in Bedrock Edition 26.40 previews as part of the Drop 3 of 2026 experiment and became a standard feature in version 26.50. Java Edition received cushions in 26.3.

How tall is a placed Green Cushion?

A placed Green Cushion measures 0.249 blocks in height and 0.999 blocks in width, keeping the seat under a quarter of a block tall.

How many Green Cushions fit in one stack?

Green Cushion items stack up to 16 per inventory slot.

Can Adventure mode players break a Green Cushion?

No. Java Edition blocked Adventure-mode players from destroying cushions during the 26.3 snapshots, and Bedrock Edition added the same protection in preview 26.50.25.
