How to get and use Glow Berries in Minecraft

The Caves & Cliffs update introduced many brand-new features in Minecraft. Glow Berries were among the items the patch added to the sandbox title, and they serve several unique purposes.

Essentially, because of their ability to emit light, they may act both as a source of illumination as well as food. Additionally, players can grow Cave Vines/Glow Vines — they can be climbed — using Glow Berries.

To find these items, gamers will have to explore the Lush Caves, a new biome included in the Caves & Cliffs update. In the next section, you can find a more in-depth explanation of how to get Glow Berries and use them.

Another way to obtain the edible items is via chest loot found in Mineshafts and Ancient Cities. Finding and opening chests in the aforementioned places will provide a chance to receive the berries. However, it must be noted that getting them through this method isn't guaranteed, and there is only a slight chance you'll be pleased with the results.

Once you have obtained the Glow Berries, they are advised to start a farm to continue gathering them without putting in much effort. You will basically have to lay a berry on the underside of any block with air underneath it or at least a two to 26-block gap. Subsequently, a Cave Vine will soon appear, producing the fruit.

Another good use of Glow Berries in Minecraft involves making foxes breed. You should just feed them to two foxes who are in close proximity to each other.

A baby fox will present itself after the breeding process, and it will be Tame towards the user.
