Crimson Forest Biome – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains the Crimson Forest biome with screenshots.
In Minecraft, you will spawn into worlds with unique weather, animals, and plants. These regions are known as biomes. Let’s explore the Crimson Forest which is a new biome that is found in the Nether dimension in Minecraft.
Background
In Minecraft, the Crimson Forest is a new biome that is found in the Nether dimension and will be introduced in the Nether Update. It is known for its red skies, red landscape, and red tree-like structures. This is the only biome where you can find piglins and hoglins.
Let’s explore the characteristics of the Crimson Forest biome.
Weather
Since the Crimson Forest is in the Nether dimension, there is no weather.
Tree-like Structures
In the Crimson Forest biome, you will find a new tree-like structure made out of Crimson Stem for the trunk, Nether Wart Blocks as the leaves, and Shroomlights can be found growing within its leaves.
The trunk of this tree-like structure is basically the Nether’s version of a log. What makes this type of tree so unique (compared to Overworld trees such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak) is that any item that you craft out of this type of tree can not be destroyed by fire.
