Trivia[]

  • Before the name was officially confirmed, Glowstone was also unofficially called lightstone, brimstone, and australium.
  • When Glowstone is broken, it has the same sound effect as breaking Glass, Sea Lanterns, and Ice.
  • Being a solid block, it can provide light underwater, unlike Torches.
  • Glowstone emits the same light level as the Sun, Fire, Lava, Jack O'Lanterns and Redstone Lamps.
  • Before Update 0.12.1, Glowstone could only be obtained by the Nether Reactor in the form of Glowstone Dust.
