Description

Nether Wart Block is a decorative block crafted by compressing nine nether warts in a 3×3 grid into one block of deep, saturated red. Nether Wart Block also generates naturally as the wart-covered canopy of huge crimson fungi in crimson forests, so a player who bonemeals a crimson fungus on crimson nylium (40% chance to grow huge) harvests stacks of Nether Wart Block for free. Nether Wart Block has a hardness and blast resistance of 1, breaks fastest with a hoe though any tool works, and always drops itself without Silk Touch.

Nether Wart Block is purely cosmetic and cannot be uncrafted back into nether warts, so any wart turned into block form is lost for brewing. Builders use Nether Wart Block as a fleshy red accent next to crimson planks, magma blocks, and netherrack for hot Nether themes, and as a bold contrast against grey blackstone or basalt walls. Unlike the cyan Warped Wart Block from warped forests, Nether Wart Block keeps a crimson tone, and it is not flammable, so Nether Wart Block survives placement beside lava and fire. Nether Wart Block can also be composted with an 85% chance to raise the composter level.
