About Nether Wart Block

The Nether Wart Block is a red, bumpy decorative block used mainly for Nether-themed builds and organic-looking walls or floors. It is not a useful storage block like a block of iron or gold.

Key facts:

  • Made by filling a 3x3 crafting grid with nether wart.
  • Can be found naturally in crimson forests and some bastion remnants.
  • Cannot be converted back into nether wart once crafted.
  • Emits no light and has no special redstone behaviour.

How to get Nether Wart Block

You can craft Nether Wart Blocks by placing 9 nether wart in a crafting grid, which makes one block. The nether wart must be grown or gathered first, so you need soul sand and nether wart from a fortress or bastion.

You can also find the block itself in the world. Huge crimson fungi in crimson forests use it for their caps, and some bastion remnants include it. It drops itself when broken, so these natural blocks are easy to collect.
