Warped Roots is a decorative non-solid plant from the Nether, found naturally on warped nylium and soul soil across the Warped Forest biome. It was added in Minecraft 1.16 (the Nether Update) and shares the biome's signature teal-cyan colour. You obtain Warped Roots by breaking it with any tool or bare hand — it always drops itself as an item, with no tool requirement. New roots also spawn when you use bone meal on warped nylium, which scatters Warped Roots and Nether Sprouts across nearby blocks. The block has no collision box, so players and mobs walk straight through it; fire does not spread to it, although lava can still ignite it. Warped Roots cannot be crafted into anything, but it is a useful composter fuel: placing it in a composter has a 65% chance to raise the compost level, making it a renewable source of bone meal. Builders prize it for decorating Nether bases, soul-themed terrariums, and warped-garden builds because its short turquoise stalks contrast sharply with red Crimson Roots and Nether Wart Blocks. In both Java and Bedrock Edition it can be planted on nylium, soul soil, dirt, grass, mud and similar soil blocks — but not on netherrack — and it also fits in a flower pot.
