Nether Wart Block - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Nether Wart Block in Minecraft?

A Nether wart block is a decorative block with a vibrant, deep red color and a strange, bumpy texture. It looks like a block made entirely of compressed Nether wart. Its main purpose is for building and decoration. It is a key part of the crimson forest biome, where it makes up the "leaves" of the giant crimson fungi. Players can harvest it to use as a unique and colorful building material. Its bold red color is perfect for creating alien landscapes, fleshy structures, or for adding a splash of vibrant red to any build. It is also a compact way to store Nether wart.

How to get Nether Wart Block in Minecraft

There are two ways to get a Nether wart block. The first way is to find it. Nether wart blocks generate naturally as the cap of the giant crimson fungi that grow all over the crimson forest biome in the Nether. You can break them with any tool, but a hoe is the fastest. The second way is to craft it. To do this, you will need nine pieces of Nether wart. You can get Nether wart by finding it in Nether fortresses or bastion remnant chests. Once you have your nine Nether wart, open a crafting table. Place the nine pieces in a three by three square, filling the entire grid. This will create one Nether wart block.

How to use Nether Wart Block in Minecraft

The main use for a Nether wart block is for building and decoration. Its unique, bumpy texture and bright red color make it a great choice for creating eye catching builds. It is perfect for building a Nether themed base or for adding a strange, organic detail to a fantasy build. It pairs very well with other crimson forest blocks like crimson stems and crimson nylium. The other use for a Nether wart block is for storage. It is a compact way to store nine Nether wart items. You can place a Nether wart block in a crafting grid at any time to turn it back into nine Nether wart items. This is very useful if you have a large Nether wart farm and need to save on chest space.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
