Stripped Crimson Stem
minecraft:stripped_crimson_stemStripped Crimson Stem is created by using an axe on a Crimson Stem while sneaking, removing its red outer layer to reveal the bright core wood beneath. Unlike overworld logs, Nether stem variants including this one do not catch fire from lava, making them a safer choice for Nether builds. It functions as a source for crimson planks, stripped crimson hyphae, hanging signs, shelves, campfires, and smokers, and is a common building block in fungus-themed structures near Nether fortresses.
