How to find a Nether fortress and farm blazes in Minecraft
Fortresses also hold Nether Wart, the base of almost every potion.
Tested 26.3
Nether Wart is a red fungus that grows on soul sand and is the base of almost every potion.
It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
Find it in Nether fortresses and bastion remnants, then plant it on Soul Sand anywhere, even in the Overworld; it grows without light and drops two to four warts when ripe. Brewed into a water bottle, it makes the awkward potion that most potions start from. Nine warts craft a Nether Wart Block.
How to craft
This item has no crafting recipe.
