Overview
Twisting Vines counts as a building block in Minecraft 1.21.4. With a hardness of 0 it gives way immediately under almost any tool. Any tool works, and so do bare hands.
Because it is transparent it does not block light. A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0 puts Twisting Vines at 0 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
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 | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties

It renews, so a single world will never run out. 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.
