Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Bamboo is a plant block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 1 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. You will need it for Block of Bamboo, Scaffolding and Stick.
