Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Light is a technical block. It is available only in Creative mode or through commands. No tool will break it in Survival mode.
It emits light level 15 — bright enough on its own to stop hostile mobs spawning nearby. Because it is transparent it does not block light. At 3600000.8 blast resistance it is a genuinely blast-proof building material.
It stacks to 64. Nothing is crafted from it.
