Overview
Mangrove Log is one of the 18 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 Log is the same shape in a different material.
Mangrove Log counts as a wooden block in Minecraft 1.21.4. It is gathered by mining rather than crafted. At a hardness of 2 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. It offers almost no protection from explosions (2 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
It is an ingredient in 6 recipes, among them Campfire, Mangrove Planks, Mangrove Wood and 3 more.
About the mangrove set
How long it takes to break
Mangrove Log has a hardness of 2. By hand that is 3 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.35 seconds.
You are looking at 0.5 seconds on iron and 0.4 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.5 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 3 s | 3 s | 3 s |
| Wooden | 1.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Stone | 0.75 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.5 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.4 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.35 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
Mangrove Log has a blast resistance of 2, 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 spreads to it readily (encouragement 5, burn 5), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
