Overview
Cherry Hanging Sign is one of the 12 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Hanging Sign is the same shape in a different material.
Cherry Hanging Sign is a functional block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Cherry Hanging Sign has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 1 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. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
With a blast resistance of only 1 it will not survive an explosion. The stack limit is 16, so plan inventory space. The recipe calls for Chain and Stripped Cherry Log.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the cherry set
How long it takes to break
Cherry Hanging Sign has a hardness of 1. By hand that is 1.5 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.2 seconds.
Iron takes 0.25 seconds against diamond's 0.2, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 4 times the unenchanted rate.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 1.5 s | 1.5 s | 1.5 s |
| Wooden | 0.75 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | instant |
| Iron | 0.25 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Diamond | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Netherite | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Golden | 0.15 s | 0.1 s | instant |
Properties
Cherry Hanging Sign has a blast resistance of 1, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 16. An axe is 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 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
