What Is Glow Lichen in Minecraft?

Glow Lichen is a flat, glowing plant that grows on the surfaces of cave walls, floors and ceilings underground. It emits a soft light level of 7 and can grow on any of the six faces of a block. It can be spread to adjacent blocks using Bone Meal.

How Does Glow Lichen Work?

  • Use Shears to collect it intact. Breaking without Shears drops nothing.
  • Emits light level 7 - not enough to prevent mob spawning on its own.
  • Apply Bone Meal to spread it to adjacent blocks of the same type.
  • Can grow on almost any solid block surface.
