Obtaining[edit]
Glowstone[edit]
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 to 4 pieces of glowstone dust per block.
Witches[edit]
A witch may drop up to 6 pieces of glowstone dust upon death.
Blazes[edit]
In the Legacy Console Edition, a blaze drops 0-2 glowstone dust upon death. This makes glowstone a renewable resource in the Legacy Console Editions despite the lack of glowstone clusters due to small worlds.
