Description

Yellow Cushion is the yellow member of the cushion family, a placeable entity (a placed seat that is not a normal block) that players can sit on, introduced in Java Edition 26.3 together with 15 more cushion colors. Crafting is color-strict: three yellow wool slabs in a single crafting-grid row produce exactly one Yellow Cushion, and any cushion combined with yellow dye comes out yellow. Generation follows the same color rule: abandoned camps normally place cushions within 1–2 blocks of a campfire, and the camp template can roll any of the 16 colors, Yellow Cushion included. One inventory slot carries 16 cushions.

Sitting is where Yellow Cushion earns its place: pressing use on a placed cushion seats the player, and a seated player ignores knockback, pistons, and portals until standing up. Cushions carry no collision and stand 0.249 blocks tall, so Yellow Cushion rests on slabs, stairs, and snow layers — any surface shorter than a full block. Removing the seat costs one hit from anything, because cushions break instantly when attacked and always drop themselves; a lost support block breaks the cushion at the next 100-tick (5-second) check. At three yellow wool slabs per seat, a ring of Yellow Cushions around a campfire turns any base corner into a rest spot for the price of three wool slabs per seat.

Guide

How to craft and use a Yellow Cushion in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the cushion

    Place three yellow wool slabs in one row of a crafting grid to make one Yellow Cushion. Combining any cushion with yellow dye recolors that cushion yellow.

  2. 2

    Place the cushion

    Use the Yellow Cushion on almost any surface, excluding fluids and a few invisible blocks. The 0.249-block-tall seat settles onto slabs, stairs, and snow layers — any surface under one block tall.

  3. 3

    Sit down

    Press use on the placed Yellow Cushion to sit. Knockback, pistons, and portals leave a seated player untouched until standing up.

  4. 4

    Pick the cushion back up

    Hit the Yellow Cushion once — cushions break instantly when attacked and always drop themselves. A removed support block triggers the same break at the next 5-second (100-tick) support check.

Cushions are not wool

Cushions do not dampen vibrations: sculk sensors detect placing, breaking, walking, and sitting on a cushion, while wool-based blocks dampen them.

Frequently asked questions

Which version added the Yellow Cushion?

Java Edition 26.3 snapshots introduced all 16 cushion colors. Bedrock Edition added cushions in the 26.40 Drop 3 of 2026 experiment and fully implemented them in 26.50.

Can a piston move a Yellow Cushion?

A piston that tries to move a cushion destroys the cushion instead. Fire destroys cushions too, and lava breaks a cushion after a few seconds.

Do Yellow Cushions work as furnace fuel?

Four cushions smelt exactly one item in a regular furnace. Each cushion burns for 50 game ticks, or 2.5 seconds.

How fast is cushion travel?

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

Can cushions overlap each other?

A cushion never overlaps another cushion. Cushions overlap every other object freely, because cushions carry no collision.
