About Purple Wool

Purple Wool is a decorative block made from dyed wool. It behaves like other wool: it is soft, flammable, and quick to break, especially with shears. Builders use it for walls, floors, pixel art, and any build that needs a strong purple colour.

You can also turn it into matching purple carpets, beds, and banners if you want the same colour in another form.

How to get Purple Wool

The main way to get Purple Wool is by crafting. Place one white wool and one purple dye anywhere in a crafting grid. Purple dye is made from blue dye and red dye, so you will need those two dyes first.

You can also dye a sheep purple with purple dye and then shear it. The sheep will regrow purple wool, which makes this a good renewable source. No common mob drops purple wool naturally, so crafting and sheep farming are the usual routes.
