Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Muddy Mangrove Roots is a plant block. Muddy Mangrove Roots has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 0.7 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 0.7 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. You make it with Mud and Mangrove Roots. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
How long it takes to break
Muddy Mangrove Roots sits at hardness 0.7: 1.1 seconds per block with your fists, 0.15 with the correct netherite tool.
An iron tool takes 0.2 seconds and a diamond one 0.15, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to diamond.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 1.1 s | 1.1 s | 1.1 s |
| Wooden | 0.55 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Stone | 0.3 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Iron | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Diamond | 0.15 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Netherite | 0.15 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Golden | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
Properties
Blast resistance on Muddy Mangrove Roots is 0.7, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A shovel 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.
