Overview
Minecraft classifies Mangrove Propagule as a building block. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear. No specific tool is required to collect it.
Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the mangrove set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0 puts Mangrove Propagule at 0 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
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 |
