Twisting Vines

What are Twisting Vines?

Twisting Vines are climbable plants in Minecraft that naturally generate in the Nether. Unlike traditional vines, they grow upward instead of downward, making them useful for vertical transportation.

Where Can Twisting Vines Be Found?

Twisting Vines naturally generate in the Warped Forest biome, growing on the ground or attached to blocks. Players can break them by hand or with any tool, and they can be farmed by placing them on blocks like Netherrack or Warped Nylium. Bone Meal can be used to speed up their growth. More details about Nether vegetation can be found in the Nether Biomes Guide.

What Can Players Do with Twisting Vines?

Twisting Vines can be used for decoration, creating vertical climbing paths, or as a quick way to ascend in the Nether. Unlike ladders, they do not require a block behind them to climb. They can also be composted for a chance to generate Bone Meal. More details about vertical movement and farming can be found in the Farming Guide.
