Overview
Warped Stem is one of the 4 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Crimson Stem is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Warped Stem is a Nether block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 2 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
It drops as the same block you mined. With a blast resistance of only 2 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
5 recipes call for it, including Campfire, Smoker, Soul Campfire and 2 more.
About the warped set
How long it takes to break
Warped Stem sits at hardness 2: 3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.
An iron tool takes 0.5 seconds and a diamond one 0.4, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.5 times the unenchanted rate.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 3 s | 3 s | 3 s |
| Wooden | 1.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Stone | 0.75 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.5 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.4 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.35 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
Warped Stem resists blasts at 2, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. An axe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
