3) Crafting Ingredients

In Minecraft, most materials can be used in order to craft something, and nether wart is no exception. Using 9 nether wart in a crafting bench will result in a nether wart block.

If two nether warts and two nether bricks are used in a crafting bench, it results in red nether bricks. Both of these can be used for decoration in Minecraft.

Nether wart is a must have in order to create any type of potion, meaning it might be useful for players who are avid potion makers to have a nether wart farm, whether it be in the Nether or in the Overworld where it might be slightly easier to access.
