Talk:Nether Wart

Does anyone know if these serve a purpose or not? Electrk 23:56, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Spelling
Not sure if this matters to Notch & Co., but the type of plants the name seems to be referring to is spelled "-wort" (i.e., Bladderwort), not "-wart", although it's pronounced the same. - TheBushranger 19:51, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Someone should confirm this, but I think it only grows in the Nether. I've had some in an overworld base for a while and it hasn't grown at all, but the patch in my Nether base is growing.

Growth
Does anyone know what factors influence growth? Apparently low enough light will cause them to pop out, but are there any other factors people are aware of? I ask as I've had a Nether Wart farm in the overworld for a while but have noticed no growth. So can anyone confirm these grow in the Overworld?Myrmidont 05:58, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I can confirm that while you can place it on soulsand in the overworld, it does not grow (both vicinity of water and/or lava do not seem to change that). Tested with SMP 1.9pre. 188.223.106.152 14:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
