Overview
Black Carpet is one of the 16 variants of White Carpet: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Carpet page.
Minecraft classifies Black Carpet as a coloured block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Black Carpet. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.1.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. With a blast resistance of only 0.1 it will not survive an explosion.
Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Black Wool. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the black set
Properties
Black Carpet has a blast resistance of 0.1, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. It catches easily (encouragement 60, burn 20), so keep lava and open flame well away from it and from anything next to it. As furnace fuel it burns for 3.4 seconds — 0.3 smelting operations.
