About Black Wool
Black Wool is a decorative building block and one of the sixteen dyed wool colours. It is a solid choice for dark floors, roofs, pixel art, and furniture in builds. Like all wool, it is flammable, so keep it away from fire and lava.
Wool also dampens vibrations. Placing Black Wool around sculk sensors can block signals from travelling, which makes it handy for quiet redstone areas and warden-related builds.
How to get Black Wool
The simplest way is to find or breed black sheep and shear them. Shearing a black sheep gives one to three blocks of wool, and the wool regrows when the sheep eats grass.
You can also craft it by combining any colour of wool with black dye in a crafting grid. Black dye comes from ink sacs or wither roses. If you need a steady supply, dye a sheep black and keep shearing it.
