Crimson Wall Hanging Sign

Overview

Crimson Wall 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 Wall Hanging Sign is the same shape in a different material.

In Minecraft 1.21.4, Crimson Wall Hanging Sign is a Nether block. It is available only in Creative mode or through commands. 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. What you actually collect is Crimson Hanging Sign. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.

With a blast resistance of only 1 it will not survive an explosion. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the crimson set

Crimson is not wood at all — it is fungus, harvested from the huge crimson fungi that grow on nylium in the crimson forest — and that biology gives the whole set its defining property: crimson blocks are completely fireproof. They will not burn, fire will not spread across them, and lava will not set them alight, which makes crimson and warped the only sensible building materials anywhere near lava or in the Nether generally. The set covers planks, stairs, slabs, fences, gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, hanging signs, buttons and pressure plates, but there is no crimson boat, because a stem is not a log. Crimson stems strip with an axe like a log and the planks are a deep maroon-red found nowhere else. Bone meal on crimson nylium grows a new huge fungus instantly, so the set is fully renewable from one nylium block.

How long it takes to break

Hardness 1 puts Crimson Wall Hanging Sign at 1.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.2 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

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

With 1 blast resistance Crimson Wall Hanging Sign goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. The block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. Broken normally it drops Crimson Hanging Sign rather than itself; Silk Touch is what returns the block, and Fortune raises the ordinary drop instead.
