Glow Lichen block in Minecraft
Glow Lichen is a thin glowing growth that covers cave walls, floors and ceilings.
It is mined with an axe. It can be composted: each one has a 50% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
It gives a soft light, enough to see but not enough to stop monsters from spawning. Bone meal spreads it to nearby faces, and it drops only with shears. Several faces of one block can be covered, and it can hold water.
How to craft
This item has no crafting recipe.
