Description

White Cushion is a placeable entity that Minecraft players sit on — an object like a painting or item frame rather than a solid block. The crafting recipe costs three White Wool Slabs placed in a row and yields one White Cushion, a decoration introduced to Java Edition in version 26.3. White Cushion cannot be mined: any attack, projectile, or piston push breaks the cushion instantly, and a broken White Cushion always drops itself. The support block underneath is rechecked every 100 game ticks (5 seconds), and a cushion left without support breaks shortly after. White Cushions also generate around abandoned camps, within 1–2 blocks of a campfire, and inside the camp barrels. The cushion measures 0.249 blocks tall and 0.999 blocks wide, stacks to 16, and rests on surfaces less than a full block tall, including slabs, stairs, and snow layers.

Press the use key on a placed White Cushion to sit down; while sitting, knockback, geysers, pistons, and portals cannot move the player. White Cushion has no collision, so seating built from cushions never blocks a walkway, and off-color cushions are fixable: any cushion plus one White Dye crafts a White Cushion. A line of cushions spaced two blocks apart doubles as transport — holding the use key reaches 15 m/s, faster than horse riding. White Cushion even works as furnace fuel with a burn time of 50 game ticks, meaning four cushions smelt one item. Unlike wool, cushions do not dampen vibrations: sculk sensors hear walking and sitting on a White Cushion.

Guide

How to craft and use a White Cushion in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the cushion

    Lay three White Wool Slabs in a row on the crafting grid; the recipe yields one White Cushion.

  2. 2

    Place the cushion

    Use the White Cushion item on any flat surface; the cushion entity aligns to the grid and rests on top of the support.

  3. 3

    Sit down

    Press the use key on the placed White Cushion; knockback, geysers, pistons, and portals cannot move a sitting player.

  4. 4

    Recolor spare cushions

    Combine any cushion with one White Dye on the crafting grid; the recipe outputs a White Cushion.

  5. 5

    Pick the cushion up

    Strike the White Cushion once; any attack breaks the cushion instantly, and White Cushion always drops itself for pickup.

Not a solid block

White Cushion is an entity like a painting, so no tool mines the cushion and a piston simply breaks it. The support block is rechecked every 100 game ticks (5 seconds), and a cushion without support breaks shortly after.

Frequently asked questions

Does a White Cushion burn in fire or lava?

Yes. White Cushion is destroyed in fire, and a cushion placed in lava breaks after a few seconds because cushions are entities with finite health.

Is the White Cushion available on Bedrock Edition?

Yes. Cushions reached Bedrock Edition in preview 26.40.30 as part of the Drop 3 of 2026 experiment, and version 26.50 implemented the feature fully.

How fast is travel across cushions in Minecraft?

A line of cushions spaced two blocks apart with the use key held reaches 15 m/s, faster than horse riding. Spamming the use key reaches 45 m/s, and remapping the use key to a keyboard key reaches 60 m/s.

Can a name tag rename a White Cushion?

Bedrock Edition name tags stopped working on cushions in preview 26.50.26. Java Edition cushions keep a custom name even after the cushion drops.
