How to Craft Red Carpet in Minecraft

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

You need 2 Red Wool, plus a Crafting Table to assemble them on. Copy this shape: two Red Wool in a row. One go makes 3 Red Carpets. Red Carpets double as furnace fuel: 67 ticks each, so 192 of them smelt a full stack of 64.

Red Carpet Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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