Overview
Dark Oak 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.
Dark Oak Hanging Sign is a functional block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Dark Oak Hanging 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 Chain and Stripped Dark Oak Log.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the dark oak set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 1, Dark Oak Hanging Sign takes 1.5 seconds to punch out and 0.2 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
An iron tool takes 0.25 seconds and a diamond one 0.2, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
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
Blast resistance on Dark Oak Hanging Sign is 1, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off 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.
