Nether-caps and their products are dark indigo, and they have the unique property of being naturally cold, having a fixed [[temperature]] of {{ct|10000}} (the [[Water#Freezing point|freezing point of water]]). Most objects made from this wood are not massive enough to change the ambient temperature around them to this point, however. This fixed temperature gives nether-cap wood a strange quasi-[[magma-safe]] quality. You can use nether-cap as a substitution for metal [[magma-safe]] components (for example, in a [[magma]] [[pump stack]]), but a nether-cap minecart will not resist magma, and nether-cap items [[dump]]ed into magma will be destroyed. Interestingly, nether-cap logs can still be burned into ash or charcoal at a [[wood furnace]], and nether-cap items laying on the ground can be ignited by fire-breathing/throwing creatures. Nether-cap cannot cause [[water]] to turn into [[ice]]. | Nether-caps and their products are dark indigo, and they have the unique property of being naturally cold, having a fixed [[temperature]] of {{ct|10000}} (the [[Water#Freezing point|freezing point of water]]).

| − | Note that because they are a cap tree and therefore affected by {{Bug|7313}}, nether cap logs should generally be reserved for those rare instances where you need something that the game requires to be made of wood ''and'' you need it to be magma-safe. | + | Note that because they are a cap tree and therefore affected by {{Bug|7313}}{{,}} nether cap logs should generally be reserved for those rare instances where you need something that the game requires to be made of wood ''and'' you need it to be magma-safe. |
Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] nether-caps for their ''coldness to the touch''. | Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] nether-caps for their ''coldness to the touch''. | ||
