Weeping Vines
Weeping Vines are climbable red plants hanging in the Nether's Crimson Forest — harvest them with shears and climb like a ladder.
Description
To harvest Weeping Vines, break the plant with shears for a guaranteed drop; mining by hand usually destroys the vine without dropping anything. Applying bone meal extends the vine downward. Weeping Vines are flammable and can be composted, and they pair visually with Twisting Vines, which grow upward in the Warped Forest. Builders use them as hanging red decoration over Nether bridges, portals, and crimson-themed interiors.
