Where Crimson Forests Generate
Crimson Forests are red Nether biomes filled with crimson nylium, huge crimson fungi, weeping vines, piglins, and hoglins.
How to Find Crimson Forests
The dense red canopy and crimson vegetation make this biome stand out strongly from neighboring Nether terrain.
What to Look For
- Explore from protected tunnels and watch for the fog turning deep red
- Look and listen for dense red vegetation, piglins, and hoglins
- Wear one piece of gold armor, while remembering that hoglins and piglin brutes are still hostile
Find Crimson Forests with Commands
Use /locate biome minecraft:crimson_forest while in the Nether; use command autocomplete if your edition's syntax differs.
Common Search Problems
If the search is taking much longer than expected, check these common causes.
- A few crimson blocks near a ruined portal do not confirm the biome
- Hoglins can knock players from ledges
- Gold armor does not protect you from every Nether mob
