Overview
Brown 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, Brown Wool is a coloured block. Brown Wool has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 0.8 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 0.8 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. You make it with Brown Dye and White Wool. 4 recipes call for it, including Brown Banner, Brown Bed, Brown Carpet and 1 more.
About the brown set
Properties
Brown Wool has a blast resistance of 0.8, 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. Being renewable, it can be produced indefinitely in one world. Flammable, at encouragement 30 and burn 60: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. 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.
