Description
Crimson stem is the log like block that forms the vertical trunks of giant nether fungi and it is an important source of nether wood for builders. The stem has a textured bark like surface and a deep red tone that matches the nether wood family. When processed by stripping with the correct tool the stem reveals a smoother inner wood texture that is more suitable for furniture and fine detail work. The stem can be turned into planks and other wood products making it a versatile resource for crafting and building. Because stems are natural parts of crimson trees they appear in tall stacks and can be harvested with an axe to collect them for later use. Builders often mix raw stems with stripped stems to add variety to walls and pillars and to achieve more natural looking constructions. In the nether context stems are a primary building resource for any large scale crimson themed project and they are used widely in both survival and creative play. The stems can be arranged to make columns beams and other structural elements and they pair well with crimson planks slab and stairs for finished touches. Their durability matches typical wood standards making them comfortable to work with using the usual wood tools and techniques.
