End Rod

End Rods are an upcoming decorative light source that emits white particles.

Obtaining
They can be obtained by any tool or block, including the fist.

Natural generation
End rods generate naturally all over an end city, where they act as a light source and sometimes a solid surface.

Usage
End rods are primarily used for light sources, as they emit a light level of 14 (same as torches). They can placed on any surface of a block. Their natural use is to light up the end city. It is possible to push them around with pistons, even if they don't look like they're connected to one.

Trivia

 * When placed on their sides, directly above full blocks, end rods can be used as a form of stairs.
 * If placed on a mob's head using commands, end rods rotated so it looks like the horn of a unicorn.
