Popped Chorus Fruit — Minecraft block

Popped Chorus Fruit

Popped Chorus Fruit is the smelted form of chorus fruit, used to craft Purpur Blocks and End Rods for End-themed Minecraft builds.

Description

Popped Chorus Fruit is obtained by smelting raw chorus fruit in a regular furnace — smokers and blast furnaces cannot cook chorus fruit — with each smelt granting 0.1 experience. Raw chorus fruit grows on chorus plants across the outer End islands, the only place these tall, branching purple plants generate after a player defeats the Ender Dragon and travels through an End gateway. Popped Chorus Fruit was added in Minecraft 1.9, the Combat Update, and has a dried, lighter purple appearance than the glossy raw fruit. Unlike raw chorus fruit, Popped Chorus Fruit cannot be eaten and never triggers the random short-range teleport effect.

Popped Chorus Fruit serves purely as a crafting ingredient: four in a 2x2 grid yield four Purpur Blocks, the signature lavender building block of End cities, and one blaze rod combined with four more produces four End Rods for decorative lighting. Because chorus plants regrow on End stone, Popped Chorus Fruit is fully renewable, making it the reliable backbone of large purpur builds and End-themed bases. Set up a furnace array beside an automatic chorus farm to mass-produce Popped Chorus Fruit for Purpur Blocks, Purpur Pillars, and End Rod lighting.

How to get and use Popped Chorus Fruit in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Reach the outer End

    After defeating the Ender Dragon, throw an ender pearl through an End gateway portal to reach the outer islands where chorus plants grow.

  2. 2

    Harvest chorus fruit

    Break the chorus plant stems with any tool or your fist; breaking the bottom block destroys the whole plant and drops several raw chorus fruit.

  3. 3

    Smelt the fruit

    Place raw chorus fruit in a regular furnace with any fuel to turn it into Popped Chorus Fruit, earning 0.1 XP per item; smokers and blast furnaces cannot cook chorus fruit.

  4. 4

    Craft your blocks

    Arrange four Popped Chorus Fruit in a 2x2 grid for four Purpur Blocks, or combine four with one blaze rod for four End Rods.

Version note

Popped Chorus Fruit was added in Minecraft 1.9 (the Combat Update). In versions before 1.9, chorus plants, purpur blocks, and End cities did not exist.
