Overview
Spruce 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 Spruce Sign as a functional block. Spruce 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 Spruce Planks and Stick.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the spruce set
How long it takes to break
Spruce Sign sits at hardness 1: 1.5 seconds per block with your fists, 0.2 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron manages 0.25 seconds and diamond 0.2, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
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
Blast resistance on Spruce Sign is 1, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. 16 fit in a slot. 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.
