Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update added massive caves to the Overworld. When designing these beautiful cave generations, Mojang faced an issue with the lighting inside caves. Because of complete darkness, caves always had hostile monsters. To overcome this problem, Mojang added glow lichen to Minecraft.
Glow lichen is a light-emitting block found inside caves in Minecraft. These non-solid blocks produce a light level of 7. This means one glow lichen can prevent mob spawning in a radius of seven blocks.
Like almost every other item, glow lichen can also be reproduced efficiently. In this article, you will learn how to grow glow lichen.

Growing Glow Lichen in Minecraft
Glow lichen is a fungi type block. To grow glow lichen, all you need is some bonemeal. You can use bonemeal on glow lichen to spread it to nearby blocks.
Instead of manually growing glow lichen, you can build an automatic glow lichen farm to get these blocks efficiently. Glow lichen farms are simple and compact as they only require dispensers, bonemeal, and only a few redstone tools to get running.
If you are interested in building a glow lichen farm, this tutorial by Minecraft YouTuber JC Playz is perfect for Bedrock Edition players. It uses a redstone loop to dispense bonemeal on glow lichen while the player breaks newly grown glow lichen using shears.
In case you are in dire need of lots of glow lichen, consider building a bonemeal farm first.
