Glow berries are a food item that is collected from cave vines and can be used to plant them.

Cave vines are a plant used to grow glow berries.

Obtaining

Glow berries can be found in lush caves, which can only generate using the buffet or custom world type in Java Edition, or if the Caves & Cliffs experimental gameplay toggle is enabled in Bedrock Edition. Otherwise, the only way they are currently found naturally is in chest minecarts in mineshafts.

Post-generation

Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine by using or breaking 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 bone meal on an empty cave vine causes the cave vine to produce berries, which can be harvested by using or breaking the vine.

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

Usage

Placement

Glow berries can be placed on and grown from the bottom of a block. 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 or its maximum height (2 to 26 blocks) is not 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.‌^{[Java Edition only][more information needed]}

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

Food

To eat glow berries, press and hold use while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores 2 () hunger and 0.4 hunger saturation points, like sweet berries.

Light

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

Composting

Placing glow berries into a composter by using 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 used on baby foxes to reduce the time until they grow by 10%.
