Minecraft:Crimson Nylium

Template:Infobox block Crimson nylium is a variant of Minecraft:netherrack that generates in Minecraft:the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

Crimson nylium drops itself only when mined with a Minecraft:pickaxe enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch; if mined with a normal pickaxe, it drops Minecraft:netherrack. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Crimson nylium generates in the Minecraft:crimson forest biome.

Mob loot

Crimson nylium is dropped when an Minecraft:enderman dies while holding it.

Post-generation

Template:Ctrl Minecraft:bone meal on Minecraft:netherrack that is placed next to or adjacent to crimson nylium transforms the netherrack into nylium of that type. Minecraft:Air must be above the netherrack during this process. This transformation can also be done by activating a Minecraft:dispenser with bone meal directly into that netherrack block. If both types of nylium are present, there is an equal chance of either being spread.

Renewability

Template:Exclusive As Minecraft:netherrack generates in Minecraft:Nether portals spawn floating, using bone meal on netherrack turns them into nylium, making them renewable.

Usage

Similar to Minecraft:grass blocks and Minecraft:mycelium, crimson nylium decays (based on Minecraft:random ticks) into netherrack when an Minecraft:opaque block is placed above it. However, unlike grass blocks and mycelium, it does not decay underneath Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> It decays when covered with Minecraft:snow.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Like mycelium and Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mushrooms can remain on nylium blocks in any Minecraft:light level. Minecraft:Huge mushrooms can be grown by using bone meal on mushrooms planted on nylium.

Minecraft:Crimson Fungi can likewise be grown into Minecraft:huge crimson fungi using Minecraft:bone meal, although the fungus must be placed on the same type of nylium, or the bone meal is never consumed.

Similar to Minecraft:grass blocks, the player can apply Minecraft:bone meal to crimson nylium. This nylium, along with nearby nylium, generates vegetation that occurs in its native biome (crimson nylium generates mostly Minecraft:crimson forest vegetation and warped nylium generates mostly Minecraft:warped forest vegetation), and just like in the native biomes, the opposite type of fungi occassionally generates. The vegetation is generated in a 5×5 area, centered on the nylium block on which bone meal is used.

Note blocks

Crimson nylium can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.
