How to Craft Purple Carpet in Minecraft

Purple Carpet in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Floor decoration. Minecraft has used the name Purple Carpet since 1.6.1.

Purple Carpets cost you 2 Purple Wool, put together at a Crafting Table. On the grid you want two Purple Wool in a row. You end up with 3 Purple Carpets each time. Burn it instead and one gives 67 ticks, which means 192 Purple Carpets take a stack of 64 all the way through a furnace.

Purple Carpet Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Purple Carpet is minecraft:purple_carpet. In commands the namespace may be left off, so purple_carpet works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p purple_carpet
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p purple_carpet 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve purple_carpet 1

Cheats have to be on for Purple Carpet to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
