Yellow Carpet
Yellow Carpet is a thin renewable floor covering (1/16 block thick): 2 yellow wool craft 3 pieces, and fence-top Yellow Carpet blocks mobs but not the player.
Description
Yellow Carpet is exactly 1/16 of a block thick (0.0625 blocks) with a blast resistance of only 0.1 — easy to destroy, yet safe to place over fences, walls, slabs, and stairs to smooth transitions between height levels. Placed on top of a fence or wall, Yellow Carpet lets the player jump onto the barrier and cross it, while mobs never attempt to jump over fences and walls even with a carpet above — an efficient solution for compact stables or paddocks. Buried glowstone or sea lanterns shine right through a Yellow Carpet floor at full brightness, and a hopper underneath still collects items normally. Hold Yellow Carpet and right-click a tamed llama to equip it as a purely cosmetic blanket in the llama's carpet slot; take the blanket off through the llama's inventory or with shears.

Guide
How to Use Yellow Carpet in Minecraft
-
1
Craft Yellow Carpet
Open a crafting table and place 2 yellow wool blocks side by side in any row. Yellow Carpet yields 3 pieces per craft. Yellow sheep do not spawn naturally: dye a sheep with yellow dye made from a dandelion or sunflower and shear it for 1–3 yellow wool, or dye white wool directly. Yellow Carpet can also be crafted in the 2×1 player inventory grid without a crafting table.

2
Cover Fences and Level Transitions
Place Yellow Carpet directly on top of fence posts, walls, slabs, or stair tops to hide the bumps and smooth the floor surface. Yellow Carpet sits flush with the top face of each block and allows movement over the surface without catching. This technique is standard for fence-lined floors in barns, gardens, and decorative builds.

3
Build a Mob Barrier Using Fences
Stack a fence post and then place Yellow Carpet on its top face. The player can jump on top of the carpeted fence and cross it, while mobs do not try to jump over fences and walls even with a carpet above them. Use this pattern around stables, paddocks, or any enclosed area where you need mobs to stay inside without using tall walls.

4
Hide Light Sources Under Yellow Carpet
Bury a glowstone or sea lantern block in the floor and cover it with Yellow Carpet to build a glowing floor. Yellow Carpet looks opaque but does not decrease the light level passing through it, so the buried light source keeps the room at full brightness while staying out of sight. A hopper covered by Yellow Carpet also keeps collecting items normally.

5
Decorate a Llama
Hold Yellow Carpet in your hand and right-click a tamed llama to equip Yellow Carpet as a cosmetic blanket in the llama's carpet slot. Yellow Carpet does not grant the llama any special abilities — the decoration slot is purely visual. To remove Yellow Carpet from the llama, open the llama's inventory screen or use shears.
Yellow Carpet is flammable and will burn if lava or fire is placed nearby. In fire-prone builds, use stone or terracotta slabs as an alternative floor layer beneath Yellow Carpet to slow fire spread, or keep flammable materials away from lava sources.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft Yellow Carpet in Minecraft?
Place 2 yellow wool blocks side by side in any row of a crafting table or in the 2×1 player inventory grid. This yields 3 Yellow Carpet pieces per craft. Yellow wool comes from dyeing a sheep with yellow dye (made from a dandelion or sunflower) and shearing it, or from dyeing white wool.
Does Yellow Carpet prevent fall damage?
No. Yellow Carpet does not reduce fall damage at all — a player or mob landing on Yellow Carpet from height takes full damage. For safe landings use water or a slime block, or hay bales, which reduce fall damage by 80%.
Can you place Yellow Carpet on a fence?
Yes. Yellow Carpet can be placed on top of fence posts and walls. The player can jump onto the carpeted barrier and cross it, while mobs do not try to jump over fences and walls even with a carpet above them. This fence-plus-carpet method is used in stables and paddocks to contain mobs without building tall walls.
How do you change the color of Yellow Carpet?
Combine Yellow Carpet with any dye in a crafting grid (no crafting table required) to produce 1 carpet of the new color. Yellow Carpet itself can be re-dyed this way — one Yellow Carpet plus one dye produces one carpet of the target color.
Can you put Yellow Carpet on a llama?
Yes. Hold Yellow Carpet in your hand and right-click a tamed llama to equip Yellow Carpet as a cosmetic blanket in its carpet slot. The decoration is purely visual and does not affect the llama's carrying capacity or behavior; remove it through the llama's inventory or with shears.
