Overview
Minecraft classifies Mushroom Stem as a wooden block. With a hardness of 0.2 it gives way immediately under almost any tool. Any tool works, and so do bare hands.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.2 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
How long it takes to break
Mushroom Stem sits at hardness 0.2: 0.3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.05 with the correct netherite tool.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed. On a block this soft the enchantment reaches instant mining almost immediately.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 0.3 s | 0.3 s | 0.3 s |
| Wooden | 0.15 s | instant | instant |
| Stone | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
With 0.2 blast resistance Mushroom Stem goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. The block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
