Nether and Its Treasures
Minecraft is renowned for its vast landscapes, ominous dungeons, and endless adventures. But sometimes, all these RPG-like journeys can feel a bit monotonous. Why not take a dive into the very depths of the Nether? While it may sound dramatic, the Nether holds treasures far more valuable than its lava lakes and crimson terrains. Among its unique features is a special plant: Nether Wart. Today, we’ll delve into this fascinating flora, learn how to cultivate it, and explore its uses. Ready to start?
TIP
What is Nether Wart?
"Wart?" It doesn’t sound particularly appealing, does it? However, this unique Nether plant holds far more value than its Overworld counterparts like wheat. Nether Wart is a bright-red fungus harvested from its crops, essential for crafting basic potions. Its deep wine-red hue blends perfectly with the fiery landscapes of the Nether, evoking imagery of something that could grow at the bottom of an ocean. Without this otherworldly plant, your potion-making days would be numbered.
Nether Wart is primarily used to brew awkward potions, the crucial base for most potions, though it’s not required for brewing potions of weakness. The brewing process involves using a brewing stand, water bottles, and Blaze Powder.
Where to Find and How to Grow Nether Wart
Nether Wart typically grows on patches of soul sand found near staircases in Nether fortresses or in courtyards of bastion remnants. However, it’s possible to encounter a fortress or bastion with no Nether Wart at all. Don’t worry—you can occasionally find it in chests hidden within these structures.
TIP
Growing Nether Wart requires soul sand as its growth medium, and it progresses through four distinct growth stages. Interestingly, the second and third stages look identical, differing only slightly in height. In Java Edition, you can check the plant's growth stage via the debug screen, which shows its age ranging from 0 to 3. During each random game tick, there’s a 10% chance the plant will advance to the next growth stage. On average, Nether Wart progresses by one stage every 11.4 minutes and fully matures in about 34 minutes. Growth is entirely unaffected by light levels or environmental conditions, and bone meal cannot speed up its development.
Nether Wart grows exclusively on soul sand and will not grow on soul soil, regardless of the dimension—be it the Nether or elsewhere.
Harvesting Nether Wart
Nether Wart is ready for harvesting when it reaches the fourth growth stage. A fully grown plant yields 2 to 4 Nether Wart items, while breaking an immature plant provides only one. Tools enchanted with Fortune can increase the harvest yield, with Fortune III allowing up to 7 items per plant. Here’s the best part: Nether Wart doesn’t require water to grow, making it one of the easiest crops to maintain!
Netherite Takeaways
And there you have it! Nether Wart may be a niche plant exclusive to the Nether, but it’s an essential part of Minecraft’s alchemy system. Whether you find it in fortresses or bastion remnants, it’s relatively easy to grow. Despite its peculiar traits, like being unaffected by bone meal, it’s highly rewarding to cultivate. So head to the Nether, stock up on soul sand, and start your Nether Wart farm today. Your potion arsenal will thank you!
