Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Glowstone is a light-emitting block. Glowstone is made at a crafting table. A hardness of 0.3 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Glowstone Dust. It glows at light level 15, which is full-strength lighting for mob-proofing.
A blast resistance of 0.3 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. You make it with Glowstone Dust.
Its crafting uses are Redstone Lamp and Respawn Anchor.
