Carpet

Carpets are blocks that were added in Update 0.8.0 and are used for decorational purposes.

Crafting

 * 2 Wool => 3 Carpet

Uses
They can be used for flooring, as they are cheaper to use than normal wool and can be used to cover any type of material, incuding dirt, stone, etc.

They are also used as tabletops in Villages.

Trivia

 * Placing a light source below a carpet will not block light.
 * Carpets are only 1/16 of a block.
 * After Update 0.9.0, all colors can be crafted in survival.
 * Before, only Red Carpets were craftable.
 * Carpets are like cacti. If a carpet is placed above another carpet and the player breaks the one that's under, both of the carpets will fall and drop the item.
 * It may also hurt mobs if plalced under them.
