About

Glowstone Dust is a crafting material dropped when you break a Glowstone block with any tool. It stacks to 64 and serves two main purposes: combining four dust in a square to craft a Glowstone block, and brewing into potions for effects like Night Vision or extending existing potion durations.

Admins typically use it to populate creative inventories or stock breweries on servers with potion systems enabled. Grant it to players via /give @p minecraft:glowstone_dust 1, adjusting the number as needed.
