Warped and Crimson Forest

Neko edited this page Apr 7, 2022 · 4 revisions

Warped Forest

What once stood as your typical lush Crimson Forest now stands as a twisted mirror of itself thanks to the influence of the invasive Endermen that reside there, who have inadvertently driven out all the typical forms of life you'd encounter here. Now, the Fungi are an odd turquoise shade and smell unbearable to the Nether's pig residents. Perhaps this is a glimpse into a similar past form of the End itself? The first biome of any Nether or Infernal game-mode run, this biome is the perfect starting point for anyone who dares try to conquer the Nether, with no outright hostile lifeforms to be found anywhere.

Crimson Forest

The most lively biome in all the Nether, the Crimson Forest stands as a testament to the phrase “Life finds a way”, hosting both the wild Hoglins that graze around and fight their only predators, the nomadic Piglins. Piglins and Hoglins have a great dynamic and create an interesting ecosystem with their interactions, and we do not want to throw that off too much with too many extraneous additions.

  • Crimson Stem - Used to make Warped Planks, an unburnable wood.
  • Crimson Wart Block

  • Crimson and Warped Roots
  • Warped Sprouts
  • Warped Fungus - Used to repel Hoglins.
  • Twisted Vines - Planted from the ground. Can be climbed up like a rope!

Mobs

  • Piglins – Humanoid pig monsters that live in a society based on the trading and wearing of gold. Don’t mine the stuff near them or they’ll come after you!
  • Hoglins – The inhabitants of the Crimson Forest who are hunted by Piglins. They can’t stand the smell of Warped Fungus, which can be used to protect from them.
  • Endermen – Warped Forest invaders who are invaluable for their Ender Pearls, which are required for opening the End Portal.

New Content added in Infernal Expansion

Blocks

  • Crimson & Warped Fungus Caps - A storage block for Crimson/Warped Fungus. Looks pretty and has mechanics in-between that of haybales and slime blocks; slightly bouncy and reduces fall damage!

Food

  • Hoglins now drop Hogchops, a new type of meat that is even better than Porkchops!

Flora

  • Shroomlight Fungus – Grows from Shroomlight (hanging in normal biomes, but upright in Warped Forests.) 9 can be crafted together to make a whole Shroomlight!

Mobs

  • Shroomloin – Drops it an Ascus Bomb, used to make a Potion of Infection.

  • Warpbeetle – Ambient little bugs brought in by the Endermen to deal with Endermites for them. They can be leashed around!
