Minecraft:Nether Wart

From SAS Gaming Wiki
Revision as of 15:57, 9 April 2026 by SyncBot (talk | contribs) (Remove broken links to missing pages)

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 warped wart blocks exist.

Nether wart crops are found in Nether fortresses and bastion remnants and used to grow Nether wart, which only requires 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 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 Nether fortresses in soul sand gardens around stairwells or in Minecraft:chests. Nether wart can also generate in the courtyards of housing unit 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, though Nether wart may still be in chests in the fortress or bastion.

Location Description Image
Template:AnchorNether Fortress Twenty Nether wart plants can be found growing near stairwells in small soul sand gardens.

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.

Farming

Template:Main When planted on 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 debug screen, and the ages range from 0 to 3. Each random tick, Nether wart has a 10% chance of growing one stage. At default 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. Bone meal cannot be used on the Nether wart.

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

Nether wart is ready to harvest when it reaches its fourth stage (age:3). Breaking a fully grown Nether wart drops 2 to 4 Nether wart, 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.
