Crimson Hyphae
Crimson Hyphae wraps a Crimson Stem in red fungal bark on all six faces — a fireproof Nether wood that never burns next to lava.
Description
Crimson Hyphae is fireproof — because it is a giant fungus rather than true wood, Crimson Hyphae does not catch fire or burn even when placed directly beside lava, making it ideal for safe Nether bases and decorative red structures. Crimson Hyphae cannot be used as furnace fuel, unlike Overworld logs, so keep ordinary wood for smelting. Strip Crimson Hyphae with an axe to reveal the smoother orange-pink Stripped Crimson Hyphae, and craft Crimson Hyphae into Crimson Planks for doors, stairs, slabs, and fences in a uniform crimson palette.
