Crimson Planks
Crimson Planks carry the deep blood-red tone of Nether crimson forests — and unlike Overworld wood, they never catch fire.

Description
Crimson Planks come from crimson stems — the Nether equivalent of logs — harvested inside the crimson forest biome, where red fungi grow as tall as trees and the ceiling drips with weeping vines. The conversion rate matches every Overworld species: four planks per stem on the crafting grid. But the result looks like nothing above ground — a deep, saturated blood red that works as a primary colour rather than an accent, paired naturally with netherrack, basalt, and warped contrast pieces.
The most important mechanical difference from Overworld wood is fire resistance. The material does not ignite from lava or fire, and a furnace will not accept it as fuel. That makes it the only structural wood safe to use directly next to lava streams in Nether bases. The full family — doors, fences, fence gates, slabs, stairs, signs, hanging signs, pressure plates, trapdoors, and boats — is available in the same striking red, so an entire piglin-themed outpost can be built end-to-end without leaving the palette.
