About
Glow Lichen is a non-stackable light source introduced in the Caves & Cliffs update. It grows naturally on cave surfaces and emits a gentle glow without producing heat or fire risk, making it ideal for atmospheric cave lighting and decorative builds.
Since it does not stack, each placement consumes one item from your inventory. Use the give command to spawn single instances when building or designing lit environments. The lichen spreads naturally on adjacent cave blocks in survival mode, so a small seed can expand to cover larger areas over time.
