Overview
Pale Oak 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.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Pale Oak Sign is a functional block. Pale Oak 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 Pale Oak Planks and Stick.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the pale oak set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 1 puts Pale Oak Sign at 1.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.2 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
Iron takes 0.25 seconds against diamond's 0.2, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
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.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 4 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| 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
Pale Oak Sign resists blasts at 1, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 16. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
