Crimson Nylium Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft crimson nylium with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, crimson nylium is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add crimson nylium to your inventory.

How to get Crimson Nylium in Survival Mode

You can add crimson nylium to your inventory in Survival mode by mining crimson nylium with a pickaxe that has been enchanted with Silk Touch. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Block of Crimson Nylium

First, you need to find crimson nylium in your Minecraft world. Crimson nylium is usually found in the Nether in the Crimson Forest.

This is what crimson nylium looks like:

2. Hold a Tool with Silk Touch

To mine the crimson nylium, you will need to use a pickaxe that has been enchanted with Silk Touch:

How to make a Diamond Pickaxe
How to make a Golden Pickaxe
How to make a Iron Pickaxe
How to make a Stone Pickaxe
How to make a Wooden Pickaxe
How to make a Netherite Pickaxe

In this example, we are going to use a diamond pickaxe that is enchanted with Silk Touch.

3. Mine the Block of Crimson Nylium

The game control to mine the crimson nylium depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the crimson nylium.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the crimson nylium.
• For Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
• For PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the crimson nylium.
• For Education Edition, left click and hold on the crimson nylium.

The crimson nylium will break and a smaller crimson nylium will float on the ground.

TIP: Normally when you mine the crimson nylium with a pickaxe, you get netherrack. However, when you mine the crimson nylium using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, you will get the crimson nylium itself as the drop.

4. Pick up the Crimson Nylium

Make sure you pick up the crimson nylium before it disappears.

Once you pick up the crimson nylium, it will appear in your hotbar.

Crimson nylium is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
