Overview
Minecraft classifies Azalea as a plant block. It is gathered by mining rather than crafted. With a hardness of 0 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
How long it takes to break
Azalea has a hardness of 0. By hand that is 0 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0 seconds.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed, which on a block this soft tips over into instant mining very early.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
Blast resistance on Azalea is 0, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. Being renewable, it can be produced indefinitely in one world. An axe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
