Glowstone Dust

Glowstone Dust is obtained by mining glowstone blocks (only found in the Nether) with a pickaxe.

Uses
When mined properly, each glowstone block yields 2 to 4 glowstone dust that can be reconstituted into a block. A glowstone block, like a jack-o-lantern, is a portable light source brighter than a torch. Glowstone dust has no other crafting uses, but it may be required to craft lanterns in a future update. Unlike Redstone dust, Glowstone dust cannot be placed.

Can be used in potions to increase the strength of its effect. For example Potion of Strength + Glowstone Dust = Strength II 1:30

History
Glowstone dust was introduced in Alpha as part of the Nether environment in the Halloween 2010 update. In Beta 1.6.6, the crafting recipe for glowstone blocks was changed from 9 units of glowstone dust to 4.

Trivia

 * In the code, Glowstone Dust is referenced as "yellowdust".
