Overview
Minecraft classifies Flowering Azalea as a plant block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 0, Flowering Azalea takes 0 seconds to punch out and 0 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed, which on a block this soft tips over into instant mining very early.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
Flowering Azalea resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. The block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
