What is Warped Fungus on a Stick in Minecraft?

A warped fungus on a stick is a strange but very useful tool that looks like a fishing rod with a blue mushroom on the end. Its one and only purpose is to help you travel across the dangerous lava lakes of the Nether. It is the steering wheel for a special mob called a strider. Striders are creatures that can walk on lava, and they absolutely love warped fungus. By holding a warped fungus on a stick, you can guide a strider wherever you want to go, making it the safest and easiest way to explore the fiery dimension.

How to get Warped Fungus on a Stick in Minecraft

You can only get a warped fungus on a stick by crafting it. The recipe is very simple and only requires two items: a fishing rod and a warped fungus. You can craft a fishing rod from three sticks and two string. The warped fungus is a blue, mushroom like plant that is only found in the warped forest biome in the Nether. This is the spooky, blue colored forest. Once you have both items, just place the fishing rod and the warped fungus anywhere in a crafting grid, and you will get your warped fungus on a stick. It is a shapeless recipe, so the placement does not matter.

How to use Warped Fungus on a Stick in Minecraft

To use a warped fungus on a stick, you first need to find a strider. These mobs can be found walking on the large lava oceans in the Nether. Before you can ride one, you need to place a saddle on it by right clicking it with a saddle in your hand. Once it has a saddle, you can ride it. To control where it goes, you need to hold the warped fungus on a stick. The strider will walk in whatever direction you are looking. If you want to go faster, you can right click to give the strider a speed boost, but be aware that this will use up the durability of your warped fungus on a stick.
