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 generate using only the buffet or custom world type. The only way they are currently found naturally is in Mineshaft chests.

Post-generation

Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine bearing them by using or breaking it, which yields one glow berries when bearing them and nothing when not. A cave vine also breaks if water runs over its location or if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location.

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

Chest loot

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	Chance
Java Edition 1.17[upcoming]
Glow Berries	Mineshaft	Chest	3–6	38.7%
Bedrock Edition 1.17.0[upcoming]
Glow Berries	Mineshaft	Chest	3–6	38.7%

Usage

Placement

Glow berries can be placed on, and grow from, only 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 chance of bearing glow berries. Only this tip can ever naturally grow them.^{[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 baby fox trusts the player and does not flee.

Glow berries can be used on baby foxes to accelerate their growth by 10%.
