Overview
Yellow 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.
Yellow Wool is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Yellow 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 Yellow Dye and White Wool. 4 recipes call for it, including Painting, Yellow Banner, Yellow Bed and 1 more.
About the yellow set
Properties
Yellow Wool has a blast resistance of 0.8, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light 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. Flammable, at encouragement 30 and burn 60: build with it away from lava, and do not use it as a wall you care about. Shears 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 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
