Glow Berries item in Minecraft

Added in 1.17 Stack size: 64

Glow Berries are the fruit of cave vines: you eat them, and you plant them to grow new vines. Glow berries and the cave vines they grow on light up lush caves.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 30% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

Cave vines hang from the ceilings of lush caves. A segment that bears a berry glows at light level 14, which makes the vines one of the few natural light sources underground. Use a vine segment to pick its berry without breaking it, or break the vine to collect it.

Plant a glow berry on the underside of a block to start a new vine; it grows downward over time, and bone meal makes a segment bear fruit. A glow berry is also a small snack worth two hunger points, and foxes love them, which lets you breed them.
