Minecraft:Nylium

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox block Nylium is a variant of Minecraft:netherrack that generates in Minecraft:the Nether. It has two variants: Minecraft:warped nylium and Minecraft:crimson nylium, each spawning in different biomes.

Obtaining

Breaking

The suitable tool to break nylium is Minecraft:pickaxe. Nylium needs to be broken using a pickaxe, otherwise the breaking time will increase and the block drops nothing. Template:Breaking row Nylium drops 1 netherrack block when it's destroyed using a tool without Minecraft:Silk Touch.
Nylium drops itself when it's destroyed using a tool with Silk Touch.

Natural generation

Warped nylium generates in the Minecraft:warped forest biome, and crimson nylium generates in the Minecraft:crimson forest biome.

Mob loot

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 warped or crimson nylium transforms the netherrack into nylium of that type. Only certain blocks (mainly transparent blocks) can be directly above the netherrack during this process, including but not limited to Minecraft:air, glass blocks, chests, and slabs. Note that some transparent blocks, such as Minecraft:glowstone, prevent 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 that spawn floating, using bone meal on netherrack turns them into nylium, making them renewable.

Usage

Similar to Minecraft:grass blocks and Minecraft:mycelium, 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:Nether fungi can likewise be grown into Minecraft:huge fungi using Minecraft:bone meal, although the fungus must be placed on the same type of nylium, or the bone meal is never consumed.

Nylium is also the only block which the fungus of its type can be grown.

Similar to Minecraft:grass blocks, the player can apply Minecraft:bone meal to 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 occasionally generates. The vegetation is generated in a 5×5 area centered on the nylium block on which bone meal is used.

Note blocks

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

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb nylium, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
