Nether wart is a crop that is grown on soul sand.

Obtaining

When a fully grown crop is harvested, it drops 1-4 nether wart. If broken before maturing, it will drop nothing.

Nethereye

There is a small chance that a nethereye killed by the player in the Nether drops nether wart. The chances of this can be increased using the looting enchantment. Currently, this is the only way of obtaining nether wart if the player does not have any yet.

Crafting

Nine nether wart can be obtained from a nether wart block.

Usage

Nether wart will break and disappear if placed on anything other than soul sand.

Growing

To grow nether wart, the player must place nether wart into a soul sand block, and wait a while to get a full grown nether wart. When fully grown, it has a chance of dropping more than one, allowing you to expand your farm. This can be done in the Overworld, as well as the nether.
