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.

How to make a Diamond Pickaxe

How to make a Golden Pickaxe

How to make an Iron Pickaxe

How to make a Stone Pickaxe

How to make a Wooden 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.

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
