Carpets are thin variants of wool that can be dyed in any of the 16 colors.

Trading[]

Apprentice-level shepherd villagers have a 132 (3.125%) chance to sell one of 16 types of carpets as part of their trades. They sell 4 carpets of the same color for an emerald.

Usage[]

Carpet has the same visual thickness as a pressure plate. It has a hitbox of 116 of a block and covers the entire surface of the block it is placed on. This thickness prevents mob spawning.

Carpet can be placed on any block, including non-solid blocks, except air and item frame[Java Edition only]. When placed on grass or fern, they break and the carpet is placed on the block below. When placed on vines, the topmost block of vines breaks and the carpet is placed on the block below, any vines blocks below the first one don't break. It can even be placed over water blocks, but to do so you must target an adjacent block with a visible hitbox.

Carpet can be pushed and pulled by pistons but pops off if pushed onto a hole or pulled downward. It can also break falling sand and gravel.

Carpet is an opaque block but does not decrease light going through it. Because of this and the fact that it can be placed on any block, a common decorative strategy is to place carpet on a light-emitting block in the floor, illuminating a room and hiding the light source at the same time.

Carpets can be placed on top of fences and walls to allow the player to jump on top of them while still preventing animals and mobs from crossing. This is because mobs do not try to jump over fences and walls, even with a carpet above.

In Java Edition, if a campfire is placed beneath a beehive to pacify bees, the campfire can be placed below ground and a carpet placed over the campfire to protect bees from the fire. In Bedrock Edition, a carpet over a campfire removes the campfire's pacifying effect on bees.

If a carpet is placed so that it lays on top of a hopper, the hopper can still collect items through the carpet. This is because hoppers can collect items from less than a full block above in Java Edition, or less than 34 of a block above in Bedrock Edition.

Carpets can also be placed over other carpets. Mobs are unable to walk over two or more layers of carpets, because the mob's AI treats carpets as if they are air blocks. If a mob stands on a double carpet layer, it stays perfectly still.‌[Java Edition only] Similarly, endermen are unable to teleport onto double carpet layers.

Carpets, similar to wool, dampens vibrations from sculk sensors. These include placing, breaking, and entities walking/jumping on. However, unlike wool, carpets dampen only horizontal vibration paths.

Decorating llamas[]

All llama swag patterns

All llama carpet patterns.

Llamas can be equipped with carpets in their carpet slot (). Each carpet color shows as a different patterned rug on the llama's back.

Fuel[]

Carpet can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 0.335 items per carpet item.‌[Java Edition only]

Breaking tall grass and vines[]

When placed on the top half of tall grass or large fern, they break and the carpet drops as an item.
