'''Glowstone dust''' is an [[item]] obtained from mining [[glowstone]], and is mainly used to create [[potion]]s with increased strength and decreased duration.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When broken using anything other than a [[Silk Touch]]-enchanted [[tool]], a [[glowstone]] block drops 2-4 glowstone dust. A [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the chances of higher drops, with Fortune III allowing an average yield of 3.5 glowstone dust per block.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–6 glowstone dust upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-15 glowstone dust. <!-- Do not add the blaze as it is in violation of MCW:UPTODATE due to the Legacy Console Edition being discontinued. Any edit that adds the blaze to this section will be immediately reverted. -->

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one glowstone dust for 4 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.

{{Item

}}
A '''knowledge book''' is a utility item that reveals available [[crafting]] recipes to the player when {{control|used|use}}.

== Obtaining ==
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using [[commands]], as it is not found in the [[creative]] inventory; therefore, it is impossible to obtain in other modes such as [[survival]] and [[adventure]] except with commands.

For example, to give oneself a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for [[bucket]]s and [[flower pot]]s, use: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:knowledge_book{Recipes:["minecraft:bucket", "minecraft:flower_pot"]} }}.

== Usage ==
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their [[recipe book]]. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.

Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with {{cmd|gamerule doLimitedCrafting true}}, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.

Trivia

  • In air, copper typically tarnishes to a darker brown color due to the buildup of copper oxides and sulfides on the surface. Green oxidation is generally due to copper carbonate and requires carbonate to be present in the atmosphere.
