Stripped Crimson Stem - Minecraft Block Guide | Properties, Recipe & Uses (2025)

What is Stripped Crimson Stem in Minecraft?

A stripped crimson stem is a decorative block with a beautiful, smooth, reddish purple texture on all six of its sides. It is created by using an axe on a regular crimson stem. The main purpose of a stripped crimson stem is to be a versatile and vibrant building material. Its uniform, smooth texture makes it perfect for creating clean looking pillars, colorful floors, and alien looking walls without the bark pattern of a regular stem. It is a fantastic block for builders who want to add a splash of vibrant, otherworldly color and a touch of Nether elegance to their creations. Like other crimson blocks, it is fire resistant.

How to get Stripped Crimson Stem in Minecraft

The only way to get a stripped crimson stem is by stripping a regular crimson stem. It cannot be crafted or found naturally. First, you need to find a giant crimson fungus. These are the giant red "trees" found in the crimson forest biome in the Nether. Chop down the fungus with an axe to collect the crimson stems. Once you have the stems, you need to place them down in the world. Then, simply right click on a placed crimson stem with any type of axe in your hand. The bark will fly off, and the stem will transform into a stripped crimson stem. You can then mine it with an axe to collect it.

How to use Stripped Crimson Stem in Minecraft

The main use for a stripped crimson stem is for building and decoration. Its smooth, reddish purple texture is perfect for creating Nether themed builds, especially when contrasted with black or gray blocks. You can use it to make eye catching floors, sleek walls, or as decorative beams and pillars. It pairs beautifully with other crimson blocks. Just like a regular stem, you can also use a stripped crimson stem to craft four crimson planks. However, most players prefer to use it for decoration because of its unique and beautiful appearance. It is a great way to add a pop of color and a clean, otherworldly feel to any build.

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.
