Minecraft:Nether Wart

Template:Infobox block Nether wart is a fungus harvested from Nether wart crops and is used to plant them. It is an essential ingredient in almost every Minecraft:potion. Unlike other crimson plants, Nether wart doesn't have a warped equivalent, although Minecraft:warped wart blocks exist.

Nether wart crops are found in Minecraft:Nether fortresses and Minecraft:bastion remnants and used to grow Nether wart, which only requires Minecraft:soul sand to grow.

Obtaining

Breaking

Nether wart can be mined instantly with any tool. A fully mature Nether wart crop yields 2–4 Nether wart. This is increased by one for each level of Minecraft:Fortune, this allows for a maximum of 7 Nether warts dropping from one crop. Less mature stages drop one Nether wart, even with the Fortune enchantment.

Natural generation

Nether wart can generate in Minecraft:Nether fortresses in Minecraft:soul sand gardens around stairwells or in Minecraft:chests. Nether wart can also generate in the courtyards of housing unit Minecraft:bastion remnants. Because it only spawns in these specific structures, it's possible for a Nether fortress or bastion remnant to generate without Nether wart.

Template:AnchorBastion Remnant	Nether wart plants can be found growing in the central courtyard of housing unit bastion remnants. These will always generate exactly 1, 5, or 6 plants.	File:Bastion Courtyard.png Nether wart growing in a bastion remnant.

Usage

Brewing ingredient

Nether wart's primary purpose is to brew the Minecraft:awkward potion, the base for all potions, but optional for Weakness.

Farming

Template:Main When planted on Minecraft:soul sand, Nether wart grows through four stages, though the middle two stages use the same texture (the hitbox of stage 3 is three pixels taller). Template:IN, the exact age can be seen using the Minecraft:debug screen, and the ages range from 0 to 3. Each Minecraft:random tick, Nether wart has a 10% chance of growing one stage. At default Minecraft:random tick speed, each Nether wart grows one age step approximately every Template:Convert on average, and fully grows from planting to harvest every Template:Convert on average. The growth rate is not affected by light or any other environmental factors. Minecraft:Bone meal cannot be used on the Nether wart.

Nether wart can only be planted on Minecraft:soul sand. It cannot be planted on Minecraft:soul soil. It can grow in any Minecraft:dimension.

Nether wart is ready to harvest when it reaches its fourth stage (equivalent to age 3). Breaking a fully grown Nether wart drops 2 to 4 Nether warts, while an immature one drops a single Nether wart. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune increases the maximum number of Nether wart dropped by 1 per level, for a maximum of 7 for a tool enchanted with Fortune III.

Composting

Placing a Nether wart into a Minecraft:composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Note that one should preferably not craft Nether wart blocks for composting purposes. Using 9 Nether warts gives almost 95% chance of raising the compost level at least 4 times, while using a Nether wart block gives an 85% chance of raising it once.
