The warped forest is an uncommon forested biome found in the Nether. Endermen are common in this biome, and hostile mobs do not spawn naturally. It is one of two Nether biomes where players are able to acquire wood without returning to the Overworld. The warped forest is the only place where huge warped fungi grow naturally.

Description

The warped forest is the rarest of the five biomes in the Nether, making up around 8% of the Nether by volume. The warped forest can generate next to any other Nether biome except for soul sand valleys.

The warped forest is dense and has a cyan color scheme. The forest's fog and particles have a deep blue tone, and the fog appears lilac with Night Vision.

The floor of the biome is composed mostly of warped nylium, with some netherrack and warped wart blocks generating on the surface. The biome's natural vegetation includes Nether fungi, warped roots, huge warped fungi, and twisting vines growing from the ground. Large overhangs extend over the oceans of lava. Blobs of glowstone generate in the ceiling, and shroomlights generate on the huge fungus scattered around the forest.

Endermen spawn most commonly here, albeit at much lower density than in the End. The only other mob that can spawn naturally here are striders; however, hostile mobs may still spawn in Nether fortresses and bastion remnants.

Mobs

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

Sounds

Music

The warped forest is one of the two biomes in the game devoid of music (the other one being the pale garden), although music tracks started in other biomes continue playing when the player moves here.

Ambience

Nether ambience plays while the player is in the Nether.

Issues

Issues relating to "Warped Forest" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

• When Warped forests were announced at MINECON Live 2019, which happened before the first Nether Update snapshot was released, these forests were referred to as "Blue Nether wart forests". In the announcement, however, they were called by the name "Nether wart forest blue".
• The ambience sound "Warped Forest Addition 6" is the sound of an enderman screaming, slowed down and in reverse.
  • Similarly, "Warped Forest Additions 1-5" are a mix of regular enderman sounds and those of endermen from Minecraft Dungeons.
• When discussing the ambience of warped forests, Samuel Åberg, Minecraft's lead sound designer, stated that "something in the forest disrupts reality."^[2]
