Seeking Alternative Nether Groth Spores Recipe [Spoilers]

[Mud]

I'm finally getting to a point in my current world where I want to start a large building project in the Nether. I recall an alternative "means of creating" Nether Groth Spores without Mycelium being added a number of versions back, but a forum/wiki/google search didn't yield much information. I spent a little time experimenting myself, but have not succeeded and I am admittedly terrible at the discovery process.

This isn't something that I personally would like to see spoiled. One if the last things not so in fact... But I will give you one hint. Kill a wither... ;)

[Ribky]

No spoilers for you :P

There is an alternate recipe... but it does require that you are fairly far in the tech tree (like... all the way), and a very bad man in order to use it.

I've said too much...

I pray for you and your world.

This isn't something that I personally would like to see spoiled.

That's the beauty of the spoiler tag. The discovery process isn't something I derive much fun from personally, in fact it discourages me from ambitious building projects which is what I enjoy the most in BTW. I'd rather spend the limited time I have making the large-scale nether plans I've developed a reality than farming nether skulls in an effort to discover the alternative means for acquiring spores.

If you're adamant about keeping it out of the public knowledge, perhaps we can take this to PMs?

A spoiler tag isn't enough for this... spoiler. :)

Think about it, what in the world could nethergrowth be? How and or where does it get the ability to spread and violently consume everything that touches it?

Hahaha not going to be me who spoils this.

It doesn't exist in the world; only the nether. Souls from the nether.

[Ribky]

But it doesn't exist in the Nether :)

Not until you put it there; you evil, evil cad.

By that logic it doesn't exist anywhere.

Warning: These may border on straight up telling you, but I think this isn't the easy way to get the groth.


Hint 1:

Spoiler

If you want to make a hellish tree, you corrupt a sapling.

If you want to make a hell bound hound, you corrupt a dog.

If you want to make an underworldly spore, what do you do?

Hint 2:

Spoiler

What originates from the slip, must go back to the slip.

Hint 3:

Why can't you rest? Is something troubling you?

[Mud]

:edit:
Thanks for helping me to figure it out :]

[ada221]

oh my lord i think i know what it is now.... if it is, that is so evil... (there you go again, flowerchild, making us question our morals in the face of progress)

Souls from the nether are dead souls from the overworld? Idk but grass spreads to dirt, just like nethergrowth spreads to rack. THAT is a huge spoiler. And my last comment here. :)

[Hipnos]

Checked this thread because I have never found a mushroom biome. The hints here have confirmed for me that the alternative ingredient is the one thing I had feared it may be. Oh god.

[jkievlan]

I must be a moron, because none of these hints are helping even a little. I thought bottling screaming souls from Hell was about as evil as it gets...there's something MORE evil? I must find out what this is, and do it immediately.

[Timeslice]

I got the answer straight from the wiki. Did you check the wiki?

Maybe it's because you don't know what the alternate ingredients are. In that case, get the CraftGuide mod, it works great with BTW.

The alternative recipe is not listed on the Wiki.

But craftguide DOES list the alternate recipe, and the wiki DOES tell you how to get the ingredients for that recipe.

Yeah...no. I'm not installing any mods other than BTW. Thanks though :) I'll just try to figure it out on my own.

EDIT: Oh wait yeah. I am a moron. I just realized what the other ingredient is lol. What's so evil about it though? Bottling souls is *way* more evil than that.

That singular ingredient is the manifestation of Steve's insatiable hunger to consume everything and remake it in his image...malignant, cancerous - unstoppable. Dunno about you, but that's plenty evil to me. It's brilliant.

It's blight goddamnit, it's a spoiler thread for god's sake...

awww, you ruined the fun

[jkievlan]

Really what worries me is...

Spoiler

if I deliberately create mature Blight, is it possible to control the stuff? How fast does it spread? Has anyone tried this?

Yup, i've done all of the above. Yes, fucking fast, and yes

[jakerman999]

Wow, I was way off base. From the way everyone was talking about the secret ingredient, I thought the wither had some sort of fungus growing on its oysters, or something. Good to know I don't have to go through with that experiment.

Now I just need to figure out how to make blight....

It's on the Wiki.

In hindsight all the hints make perfect since; you need to kill a weather to craft a beacon, and you need to a SFS beacon to make Blight. And yeah, SFS does feel like an inherently evil material due to its production process.
