Overview
Dark Oak Wall 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 Sign is the same shape in a different material.
Dark Oak Wall Sign is a functional block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. It cannot be obtained in Survival — it exists for Creative mode and commands. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Dark Oak Sign. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 1 means a single creeper will clear it away. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the dark oak set
How long it takes to break
Dark Oak Wall 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 manages 0.25 seconds and diamond 0.2, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
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
Dark Oak Wall Sign resists blasts at 1, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. 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 Dark Oak Sign rather than itself; Silk Touch is what returns the block, and Fortune raises the ordinary drop instead. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
