Overview
Magenta 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.
Minecraft classifies Magenta Wool as a coloured block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Magenta Wool. Its hardness of 0.8 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. With a blast resistance of only 0.8 it will not survive an explosion.
Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Magenta Dye and White Wool. It is an ingredient in 4 recipes, among them Magenta Banner, Magenta Bed, Magenta Carpet and 1 more.
About the magenta set
Properties
Magenta Wool has a blast resistance of 0.8, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 30, burn 60 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. Shears are 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 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
