Nether wart blocks are decorative blocks found in crimson forests and crafted using Nether wart.

Obtaining

Breaking

Nether wart blocks can be mined using any tool or by hand, but a hoe is the fastest way to break it.

 The Nether wart block cannot be crafted back into Nether wart.[1][2][3]

Post generation

Using bone meal on a crimson fungus that is planted on crimson nylium has a 40% chance to grow into its huge equivalent, generating Nether wart blocks as part of it.

Usage

Nether wart blocks are not a compacted block as they cannot be crafted back into Nether wart.[4]

Composting

Nether wart blocks can be fed into a composter with an 85% chance of leveling up the pile. Composting a nether wart block instead of 9 nether wart items is less efficient.

Mob spawning

Piglins, zombified piglins, and hoglins do not spawn on top of Nether wart blocks. Other Nether mobs such as skeletons and endermen are not prevented from spawning.
