How to Craft White Carpet in Minecraft

White Carpet in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Floor decoration. Minecraft has used the name White Carpet since 1.11.

The recipe wants 2 White Wool, and a Crafting Table to run it on. The grid takes two White Wool in a row. That comes out as 3 White Carpets. Short on coal? 67 ticks each means 192 White Carpets smelt 64 items.

White Carpet Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

White Carpet is a thin decorative floor covering. Mobs cannot spawn on carpet, and it can be placed on llamas. White Carpet uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

Minecraft has used the name White Carpet since 1.11, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with white wool (dye wool or shear sheep).
