Glow Berries Guide

Food and light from the same vine.

Quick answer
  • Glow berries grow on cave vines in lush caves.
  • Place them under a block to grow a new vine.
  • Berry vines glow at light level 14, and each berry restores 2 hunger.

Glow berries are a neat two-in-one: a snack and a light source that grows itself.

Finding them

Look for glowing vines hanging from the ceilings of lush caves. Find lush caves by spotting azalea trees on the surface.

Growing a vine

  1. Use a glow berry on the underside of a block.
  2. A cave vine grows downward over time.
  3. Use Bone meal on a vine with no berries to make berries appear.

Harvesting

Use a vine that has berries on it to pick them without breaking the vine. It grows more later.
