Overview
Orange Wool is one of the 16 variants of White Wool: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Wool page.
Orange Wool is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Orange Wool has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 0.8 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 0.8 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. You make it with Orange Dye and White Wool. 4 recipes call for it, including Orange Banner, Orange Bed, Orange Carpet and 1 more.
About the orange set
Properties
With 0.8 blast resistance Orange Wool goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. Flammable, at encouragement 30 and burn 60: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. The block is tagged for shears, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
