Minecraft Crimson Forest Finder

Quick answer: Crimson Forests are dense red fungal woodlands of towering crimson fungi, glowing shroomlight and dangling weeping vines, where hoglins graze and piglins barter. Half of worlds have one within 100 blocks of the Nether's centre. This finder highlights every Crimson Forest on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.
Where do Crimson Forests generate?
Crimson Forests generate in the Nether on beds of crimson nylium, packed with tall crimson fungi, hanging weeping vines and glowing shroomlight. Their deep-red fog makes them easy to spot, and they are one of the more common Nether biomes.

What can I get from a Crimson Forest?
From a Crimson Forest you get the Nether's main food source - hoglins, which drop raw porkchops and leather and can be bred with crimson fungus. Piglins also spawn in numbers, so it is a prime place to barter gold ingots for ender pearls, obsidian, fire charges and more. You can harvest crimson stems for a red wood set, shroomlight for light, and weeping vines and nether wart blocks for building and decoration.
Does the Crimson Forest finder work on Bedrock?
Yes - both editions, Minecraft 26.3 on Java and 1.26.62 on Bedrock. Crimson Forests were added in the 1.16 Nether Update on both editions. The map highlights every Crimson Forest on your seed, free and with no sign-up.
