Overview
Cherry 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 Sign is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Cherry Sign is a functional block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Cherry Sign. Its hardness of 1 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (1 blast resistance). One slot holds 16 at most. It is crafted from Cherry Planks and Stick.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the cherry set
How long it takes to break
Cherry 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.
You are looking at 0.25 seconds on iron and 0.2 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 4 times faster than the plain tool.
| 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
With 1 blast resistance Cherry Sign goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. 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.
