White Wool Slab
White Wool Slab is the undyed half-height slab (a half-size block) crafted from three White Wool blocks, placed to block vibrations from reaching sculk sensors.
Description
White Wool Slab blocks vibration detection. A wool slab placed between a sculk sensor and a vibration source keeps the sensor from detecting anything behind the wool slab, and a wool slab between a sculk sensor and a sculk shrieker stops the sensor from alerting the shrieker. Sculk sensors never register wool slabs being placed or broken, entities walking, sprinting, or jumping on top of wool slabs, or items dropped onto wool slabs. In Java Edition, White Wool Slab doubles as furnace fuel at 0.25 items per slab — four slabs smelt one item. White Wool Slab is highly flammable, susceptible to lava, and offers little resistance against explosions.

Guide
How to craft and use White Wool Slab in Minecraft
-
1
Craft six slabs from three White Wool
Place three White Wool blocks in a single row on the crafting grid. One craft outputs six White Wool Slabs.
-
2
Break White Wool Slab with shears
Mine placed White Wool Slab with any tool; shears break the slab fastest.
-
3
Shield rooms from sculk sensors
Place White Wool Slab between a sculk sensor and whatever the sensor should not detect, or walk, sprint, and jump across wool slabs: sculk sensors and wardens register none of the wool activity.
-
4
Use spare slabs as furnace fuel
In Java Edition, four White Wool Slabs smelt one item in a furnace.
Keep flames and lava away from White Wool Slab builds: the wool slab is highly flammable and catches fire from lava.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Warden detect White Wool Slab?
No. Wardens cannot detect wool slabs being placed or broken, entities walking, sprinting, or jumping on top of wool slabs, or items dropped on wool — the same blind spot sculk sensors have.
How many White Wool Slabs stack in one slot?
White Wool Slab stacks to 64, and stacks hold only wool slabs of the same color.
Can White Wool Slab be re-dyed another color?
Yes. Crafting any wool slab with a dye produces the matching dyed wool slab, and every color can be re-dyed again, just like wool.
Can White Wool Slab be placed inside water?
Yes. White Wool Slab is waterloggable, so the slab sits inside a water block without displacing the water.
How blast resistant is White Wool Slab?
White Wool Slab has a blast resistance of only 0.8 in Java Edition and 0.16 in Bedrock Edition, so explosions destroy wool slabs easily.
