Overview
Blue Wool is one of the 16 variants of White Wool: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Wool page.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Blue Wool is a coloured block. Blue Wool is made at a crafting table. Hardness 0.8 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.8 blast resistance).
A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Blue Dye and White Wool. Its main value is as a crafting ingredient: 4 recipes need it, Blue Banner, Blue Bed, Blue Carpet and 1 more among them.
About the blue set
Properties
Blue Wool resists blasts at 0.8, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. It catches easily (encouragement 30, burn 60), so keep lava and open flame well away from it and from anything next to it. Shears are the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
