Crimson Nylium

Obtaining

Crimson nylium generates as the floor of crimson forests and can support a Nether garden. Bone meal works on an exposed top face and places the crimson forest vegetation feature.

Breaking

The block needs the correct tool for normal mining. Its loot table returns the block with Silk Touch; without that enchantment the surviving-explosion branch returns netherrack instead.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

Crimson nylium supports Nether vegetation and is the crimson counterpart to warped nylium. Use it as a living floor for crimson fungi, roots, and a controlled Nether garden rather than as a normal red building block.

Sounds

The block uses the nylium sound family and the bass-drum note-block instrument. Its random-tick behaviour is part of the block state rather than a separate redstone signal.

• Warped NyliumBlock

Behavior

Bone meal works when the block above is air and places crimson forest vegetation. If the top becomes too dark, the random tick converts nylium back into netherrack, so an open ceiling matters for long-term farms.

Data values

The block uses `minecraft:crimson_nylium`, the crimson nylium map colour, 0.4 hardness, random ticks, and the correct-tool requirement. Its loot table explicitly separates Silk Touch from the netherrack fallback.

History

Crimson nylium was introduced with the crimson forest material family. Its defining survival rule is that bone meal grows Nether vegetation on it while darkness can return the block to netherrack.

Trivia

The Silk Touch branch is not the only way to preserve the block: the loot table also makes its normal identity explicit, while a non-Silk-Touch harvest intentionally falls back to netherrack.
