Weeping Vines

Weeping vines are climbable, downwards-growing vegetation blocks found in the Nether in crimson forests.

Natural generation

Weeping vines generate naturally inside crevices within the ceilings, or on huge crimson fungi in the crimson forest biome.

Post-generation

A huge fungus grown by bone meal on a crimson fungus generates weeping vines growing on it. Each random tick, weeping vines have a 10% chance of growing one block downward. At default random tick speed, each fungus grows approximately every . Weeping vines stop growing once they reach the ground or when the block reaches an block state of 25, whichever is first. Bone meal can be used to extend weeping vines and can be used anywhere in the chain to extend the whole chain. This can be useful for getting down from a high place in the nether.

Usage

Weeping vines can be placed on, and grow from, the bottom of a block. The top-most vine block always has a starting age value of 0, which increments every time the block grows. If the bottom-most vine block has an age below 25, it continues to grow provided that there is free space below the vine. When the vine does grow, a new vine block with an incremented age value is placed beneath it. Weeping vines stop growing if shears are on the tip.

Climbing

Weeping vines can be climbed by standing in them and holding the key. If there is a solid block behind the weeping vines, the key can also be used.

Composting

Weeping vines can also be used on a composter, with a 50% chance to raise the compost level by 1.
