Overview
Light Gray Wool is one of the 16 variants of White Wool: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Wool page.
Light Gray Wool counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Light Gray Wool has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 0.8 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 0.8 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. You make it with Light Gray Dye and White Wool. 4 recipes call for it, including Light Gray Banner, Light Gray Bed, Light Gray Carpet and 1 more.
About the light gray set
Properties
With 0.8 blast resistance Light Gray Wool goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. Being renewable, it can be produced indefinitely in one world. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 30, burn 60), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. Shears is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
