It had to arrive eventually. After years of writing about every item in Minecraft, it’s finally time to put everyone’s second-favorite branch-mounted delicacy in the spotlight. Our item of the month is the warped fungus on a stick.
This extremely specific item was added to the game in the Nether Update, released in June 2020. As its name indicates, this update dramatically reworked Minecraft’s warmest dimension, adding new biomes, mobs, a new tier of equipment, and of course plenty of new blocks and items.
One of the mobs added in that update was the strider, which got its own spotlight in this article. Striders skate across the surface of lava lakes, and can be fitted with a saddle so that they can carry players with them – their toes kept juuuust above the fire.
