Glow berries are perfect for decorating your secret hideaway or for making a creepy haunted forest. When the sun sets, the plants will cast an eerie glow across your land.
The berries are just pretty to look at making them an aesthetic addition to your Zen Garden.
Growing glow berries is quite rewarding because they can be used as compost or eaten. Just like sweet berries, glow berries give the player only two hunger points. When used on a composter, glow berries increase the chances of raising the composter level by 1.
Where To Find Glow Berries in Minecraft
You can easily find glow berries from two different sources; in the lush caves, and in mineshaft chests.
Glow berries grow in lush caves, in long vines that can be harvested. The vines can sometimes grow up to 26 blocks in length or as short as just a few blocks.
To harvest glow berries from these vines, you simply just need to “use” the vine with nothing in your hand. You can also use bonemeal to increase the chances of spawning a berry.
Another way of obtaining glow berries is from mineshaft chests. However, there is always a one in three chance of finding a glow berry in mineshaft chests. If you’re lucky enough, a chest could contain at least three glow berries.
How To Grow Glow Berries in Minecraft
Growing glow berries is easy and straightforward. To grow a glow berry vine, simply use a glow berry on the underside of a block. Just make sure that the block is high up enough because the vines grow downwards. The vines can grow up to 26 blocks in length, as long as there are blocks of air beneath.
When the vines grow a few blocks in length, you’ll notice glow berries on some of them. You can now harvest the berries but using bonemeal increases the odds of spawning glow berries.
Uses Of Glow Berries in Minecraft
Glow berries have a few uses In Minecraft. They can be eaten by the player, used as a light source, or fed to foxes to breed them.
When the player eats glow berries, they only provide 2 hunger points and approximately 0.4 hunger saturation points. This also happens when the player eats sweet berries.
Glow berries are a natural source of light within your garden. When glow berry vines start producing berries, they light up their immediate surroundings. Glow berries can also be “used” into a composter, increasing the chances of raising the compost level by 1. Just like sweet berries, glow berries can be used to breed foxes.
Foxes in Minecraft behave quite like cats and can be scared off easily. To successfully breed them, the player has to approach two foxes and feed them glow berries slowly.
Finally, when this happens both foxes enter “love mode” and produce a newborn that the player can leash and take home as a pet.
Glow berries are a fun addition to Minecraft, and with these helpful tips, you’ll be able to grow your own in no time!
