Nether wart can be mined instantly with any tool. A mature nether wart crop yields 2 to 4 nether wart. This is increased by one for each level of Fortune. All other stages drop 1 nether wart, regardless of whether Fortune is used.

Farming [ edit ]

When planted on soul sand, nether wart grows through four stages, though the middle two stages have almost the same appearance (the difference is that the hitbox of stage 3 is three pixels taller). In Java Edition, the exact age can be seen using the debug screen, and the ages range from 0 to 3. Each random tick, nether wart has a 10% chance of growing one stage. At default random tick speed, each nether wart grows approximately every 13653 game ticks (11.3775 minutes) on average. The growth rate is not affected by light or any other environmental factors. Bone meal cannot be used on the nether wart.

Nether wart can only be planted on soul sand. It cannot be planted on soul soil. It can grow in any dimension.

Nether wart is ready to harvest when it reaches its fourth stage (age:3). Breaking a fully grown nether wart drops 2 to 4 nether wart, while an immature one drops a single nether wart. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the maximum number of nether wart dropped by 1 per level, for a maximum of 7 for a tool enchanted with Fortune III.

Composting [ edit ]

Placing a Nether Wart into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trivia [ edit ]

Disregarding color, nether wart bears a strong resemblance to warted puffball, a type of fungus.

Nether wart's stage changes cannot be detected by a BUD, except the Observer block.

Unlike other crimson "plants", Nether Wart doesn't have a warped equivalent. This is also the case with Nether Sprouts, which lack a crimson equivalent.
