Minecraft:Glow Lichen

From SAS Gaming Wiki
Revision as of 20:25, 9 April 2026 by SyncBot (talk | contribs) (Fix template calls: add MC/ prefix)

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block A glow lichen is a non-solid, light-emitting Minecraft:block. It can generate, or be placed, on any side of a solid block. It primarily generates on the side of blocks in caves.

Obtaining

Breaking

Glow lichen can be destroyed with anything, most efficiently with an Minecraft:axe. However, using Minecraft:shears is the only way to obtain glow lichen. Enchanting shears with Efficiency II allows for instant mining. Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Glow lichen generates naturally in the interior of caves (at any height) on the surface of Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:calcite, Minecraft:tuff, Minecraft:deepslate, and dripstone blocks that are exposed to Minecraft:air or Minecraft:water sources. As well as within or upon generated structures, or sometimes even exposed to some surface light. It can be found underwater, but cannot generate in a deep dark biome.

Post-generation

Template:Pointer box {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}Using bone meal causes glow lichen to spread to a random adjacent block if possible, otherwise the bone meal is not consumed. By fertilizing one lichen with bone meal, it is possible to cover the sides and the top of an adjacent block, but not the back. Otherwise, glow lichen does not spread naturally.

Usage

Light

Glow lichen emits a light level of 7.

Placement

Multiple glow lichens can be placed in the area of one solid block, such as covering three sides of a corner. When such glow lichens are mined, all glow lichens occupying the same block are also mined. Mining with Minecraft:shears causes all glow lichens in the block to drop.

Glow lichens cannot be broken by flowing Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava,<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> similar to Minecraft:signs. Therefore, they may be used to control the flow of water, but not lava, as glow lichens are flammable.

Composting

Placing a glow lichen into a Minecraft:composter has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

  • If the player removes all directional states using a debug stick, the block becomes invisible, but the light emission remains, unless another block is placed there.
  • In real life, the lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungus species in a symbiotic relationship.
