Yellow Carpet
Yellow Carpet is a thin renewable floor covering (1/16 block thick) that cancels fall damage, fits over fences, and crafts 3 pieces from 2 yellow wool.
Description
Yellow Carpet is exactly 1/16 of a block thick (0.0625 blocks) and carries a blast resistance of only 0.1, making Yellow Carpet easy to destroy but safe to place over fences, walls, slabs, and stairs — hiding the post tops and smoothing transitions between different height levels. Yellow Carpet placed on top of a fence post creates a one-block-tall barrier that players can step over but most mobs cannot jump, an efficient solution for compact stables or paddocks. Yellow Carpet completely cancels fall damage regardless of height, making Yellow Carpet useful as a landing pad in elytra hubs or parkour reset zones, and Yellow Carpet can be placed on a llama's back via shift+right-click to decorate the llama.

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. To get yellow wool, shear a naturally yellow sheep or dye white wool with yellow dye made from a dandelion or sunflower. 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 resulting structure is exactly 1 block tall — players can step over Yellow Carpet placed this way, but most mobs cannot jump the extra height. Use this pattern around stables, paddocks, or any enclosed area where you need mobs to stay inside without using tall walls.

4
Create Fall-Damage-Free Landing Zones
Place Yellow Carpet on any solid block surface to create a landing pad that completely cancels fall damage regardless of fall height. Yellow Carpet works the same as hay bales for this purpose but uses only 1 block of vertical space. Use Yellow Carpet in elytra landing zones, parkour reset pads, or at the bottom of mineshaft drops.

5
Decorate a Llama
Hold Yellow Carpet in your hand and shift+right-click a tamed llama to equip Yellow Carpet as a saddle blanket decoration. Yellow Carpet does not grant the llama any special abilities — it is a purely cosmetic item slot. To remove Yellow Carpet from the llama, open the llama's inventory screen.
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 shearing yellow sheep or dyeing white wool with yellow dye made from dandelion or sunflower.
Does Yellow Carpet prevent fall damage?
Yes. Yellow Carpet completely cancels fall damage when a player or mob lands on Yellow Carpet from any height. Yellow Carpet shares this property with hay bales and soul sand but requires only 1 block of vertical space, making Yellow Carpet ideal for compact landing zones.
Can you place Yellow Carpet on a fence?
Yes. Yellow Carpet can be placed on top of fence posts and creates a one-block-tall barrier that players can step over but most mobs cannot jump. 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 shift+right-click a tamed llama to equip Yellow Carpet as a cosmetic saddle blanket. Yellow Carpet in the llama decoration slot is purely visual and does not affect the llama's carrying capacity or behavior.
