Overview
Weeping Vines is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
How long it takes to break
Weeping Vines sits at hardness 0: 0 seconds per block with your fists, 0 with the correct netherite tool.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, and on something this soft that reaches instant mining almost at once.
| 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
Weeping Vines resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. It is renewable, so one world can supply as much of it as you want. An axe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
