Grab fortress nether wart, grow it on soul sand and predict your harvests.

A strange red fungus grows in the fortress shadows. Steal a few, and grow an empire of potions back home.

What you’ll build

Sneak into the fortress with a teammate to grab some nether wart, then gather soul sand and plant your own wart garden. Test what it does and doesn't need, harvest when it's red and fully grown, replant and predict your next harvest.

Finish line: Your soul sand garden has given three harvests and you've checked your prediction against the real result.

Bonus challenge: Build a hidden cellar and grow a second patch in total darkness. Does it grow just as fast? Keep score on both patches.

You’ll need

  • A shovel
  • Armour
  • Food
  • Soul sand
  • A family member or friend

You choose

  • My garden's name
  • Where it grows: Nether hub or Overworld base
  • My bet: will wart grow without water or light?

Stuck?

  • Nether wart only grows on soul sand. It won't plant on dirt or soul soil.
  • Bone meal does nothing to nether wart. You just have to wait.
  • Growth is slow and random, so check back over a few play sessions.
