Minecraft Snapshot 21w03a

12.08.2022

The Caves & Cliffs snapshot today is especially shiny! It could almost be called glowing… But wait, it's a squid.

21w03a: New Features

– Added glow of lichen! – Added glow of squid

Glow Lichen

– A dim source of light that generates in caves.
– Pick it up with shears
– Spread bonemeal on block surfaces.

Glow Squid

Glow Squids can be seen even from far away!
– Glow squids are killed and drop glow ink sacs.
Glow ink sacs are a great way to make your text visible at night. Use colors!
Combine a glow ink bag with an item frame from a crafting table to create a glow frame. A glow item frame can be used to illuminate any item, even at night.
To remove the glow effect, use an Ink Sac to place on a sign.
– Axolotls will attack glow squids that they see.
