Glowstone Dust



Glowstone Dust can only be obtained by destroying glowstone blocks found in The Nether. Each glowstone block drops 2-4 glowstone dust when destroyed with a pickaxe, which can be used to craft glowstone. Glowstone dust currently has no other crafting uses. It will presumably be required to craft lanterns if they are added. A glowstone block emits a light level of 15. Before update 1.6.6, it took nine pieces of glowstone dust to craft a glowstone block, and each glowstone block destroyed only provided one piece of glowstone dust.
