Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine by or  the vine. This yields one glow berry when the vine is bearing them and nothing when it is not. A cave vine also breaks if water runs over its location or if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location.

$$, using a tool with Silk Touch on cave vines always yields a glow berry, even if the vine appears empty.

Fortune has no effect on the number of glow berries dropped.

Placement
Glow berries can be placed on and grown from the bottom of most blocks. They have no specific lighting requirements. When placed, they can be of any length.

Growth
Placing glow berries on the bottom of a block creates a cave vine that grows downward one block at a time as long as air is beneath it and its maximum height (2 to 26 blocks) has not been reached. Each newly-grown cave vine block has a 1 in 9 chance of bearing glow berries. Only this tip can ever naturally grow them.

bone meal on a cave vine produces glow berries if the vine was not bearing any.

In Java Edition, cave vines stop growing if shears are used on the tip.

Food

Light
When bearing glow berries, cave vines give off a light level of 14.

Composting
Placing glow berries into a composter by them on it has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Breeding
Glow berries can be fed to foxes to breed them. Foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; a sudden movement by the player may cause the fox to flee even if the player holds glow berries. The resulting baby fox trusts the player and does not flee.

Glow berries can be on baby foxes to reduce the time until they grow by 10%.
