What Is Nether Wart in Minecraft?

Nether Wart is a red fungal plant that grows on Soul Sand. It is the base ingredient for almost all potions in Minecraft. It grows in three stages and must be fully grown before it drops extra Nether Wart items. Unlike crops, it does not need water or light to grow - only Soul Sand.

How Does Nether Wart Work?

  • Grows on Soul Sand only - it does not need water or light.
  • Grows in three stages - harvest when fully grown for 2 to 4 drops.
  • Bone Meal does not speed up Nether Wart growth.
