How to make a Stripped Warped Stem in MInecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a stripped warped stem with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a stripped warped stem is a new item that was introduced in the Nether Update. The stripped warped stem and the stripped crimson stem are basically the Nether's version of a stripped log and can not be destroyed by fire.

A stripped warped 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.
