Overview
Mangrove Sign is one of the 12 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 Sign is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Mangrove Sign as a functional block. Mangrove Sign is made at a crafting table. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
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 1 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks only to 16. You make it with Mangrove Planks and Stick.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the mangrove set
How long it takes to break
Mangrove Sign sits at hardness 1: 1.5 seconds per block with your fists, 0.2 with the correct netherite tool.
You are looking at 0.25 seconds on iron and 0.2 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
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.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 4 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 1.5 s | 1.5 s | 1.5 s |
| Wooden | 0.75 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | instant |
| Iron | 0.25 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Diamond | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Netherite | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Golden | 0.15 s | 0.1 s | instant |
Properties
With 1 blast resistance Mangrove Sign goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 16. An axe 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 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
