Nether Wart
minecraft:nether_wartNether wart is a fungus found in the Nether that serves as an essential ingredient in almost every potion. Players can gather it from Nether fortresses and bastion remnants, or cultivate it themselves by planting it on soul sand, where it grows through four stages over roughly 34 minutes. It is primarily used to brew the awkward potion, the base for most potion effects.
