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.
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.
Usage
Placement
Glow berries can only be placed on and grow from the bottom of a block. They have no specific lighting requirements. When placed, they can be of any length, going to including "feet" height, standing.
Growth
Placing glow berries on the bottom of a block will place a cave vine which grows downwards one block at a time as long as there is air beneath it or its maximum height of between including 2 and 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 that does not already bear glow berries will produce them.
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, a body cave vine and head cave vine give off a light level of 14 and 10 respectively.
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%.

A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}}
Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment.
=== Crafting ===
Most tools can be obtained through crafting.
{{:Crafting/Tools}}
=== Upgrading ===
[[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading.
{{Smithing

|Netherite Ingot

== Usage ==
=== Best tools ===
{{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}}
Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold.
=== Item durability ===
{{main|Durability}}
Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite.
Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners.
=== Item enchantability ===
Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold.
=== Smelting ===
{{main|Smelting}}
Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s.
{{Smelting|showname=1|head=1|Any iron tools|Iron Nugget|0,1}}
{{Smelting|showname=1|foot=1|Any golden tools|Gold Nugget|0,1}}
; Fuel
* Wooden tools can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per tool.
* A [[fishing rod]] can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5{{only|java|short=1}}/1{{only|bedrock|short=1}} items per fishing rod.
