The '''crimson forest''' is a forested [[biome]] in [[the Nether]].

== Description ==
The crimson forest is dense and has a crimson color scheme. The forest's fog is dark red and blazing particles are seen floating. The forest floor is mostly covered with [[crimson nylium]], with some [[netherrack]] and [[nether wart block]]s generating on the surface as well. The vegetation of the biome includes [[fungi]], [[crimson roots]], [[huge crimson fungi]] and [[weeping vines]]. These vines hang from the large fungi and nether wart blocks from the ceiling.

== Mobs ==

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* When the crimson forest was announced at [[MINECON Live 2019]], which happened before the first Nether Update snapshot was released, it was known as "Nether wart forest". In the announcement, however, it was called "Nether wart forest red".
* Most of the ambience in the crimson forest was made with balloons, which [[Samuel Åberg]] says creates a disturbing feeling of something stretching and forcing itself to bend.<ref>{{ytl|BPJOs8nFMv0|Dev Diaries #2: Nether Sound|Minecraft|July 24, 2020|t=43}}</ref>
* The crimson forest's music track, Chrysopoeia, is named after a term in alchemy that refers to the transmutation of base metals into gold. This name ties with the Nether's relation to gold and the brewing mechanic (since huge crimson fungi's leaves are made of nether wart block).
