Stripped Crimson Stem Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a stripped crimson stem with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a stripped crimson stem is a new item that was introduced in the Nether Update. The stripped crimson stem and the stripped warped stem are basically the Nether’s version of a stripped log and can not be destroyed by fire.
A stripped crimson stem 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 a stripped crimson stem to your inventory.

How to get a Stripped Crimson Stem in Survival Mode
You can add a stripped crimson stem to your inventory in Survival mode by stripping the bark from a crimson stem with an axe. So, let’s get started!
1. Find a Crimson Stem
First, you need to find a crimson stem growing in your Minecraft world. A crimson stem is found in the Nether in the Crimson Forest.
2. Hold an Axe
Next, you will need to select an axe in your hotbar. These are the axes you can choose from:
How to make a Diamond Axe
How to make a Golden Axe
How to make a Iron Axe
How to make a Stone Axe
How to make a Wooden Axe
How to make a Netherite Axe
In this example, we are going to select an iron axe.
3. Strip the Bark with the Axe
Now, you need to strip the bark from a crimson stem with your axe. The game control to strip the bark with an axe depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the crimson stem.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the crimson stem.
- For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the crimson stem.
- For Education Edition, right click on the crimson stem.
You should now see the bark removed from the crimson stem. This turns the crimson stem into a stripped crimson stem.
4. Chop down the Stripped Crimson Stem
The game control to chop down the stripped crimson stem depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the stripped crimson stem.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the stripped crimson stem.
- 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 stripped crimson stem.
- For Education Edition, left click and hold on the stripped crimson stem.
You will need to continue to chop until the stripped crimson stem drops from the tree.
5. Pick up the Stripped Crimson Stem
Make sure you pick up the stripped crimson stem before it disappears.
Once you pick up the stripped crimson stem, it will appear in your hotbar.
A stripped crimson stem is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
