Natural Generation
Glowstone generates only in the Nether. It generates in veins, trying to be at the ceilings of caves.
It can be found quite easily because of the natural light it gives off, making it stand out from most other blocks in the nether. However, it does mean that to obtain glowstone the player must first get to the Nether dimension.
Crafting
Glowstone dust can be crafted with 4 glowstone dust. Glowstone does not craft back into glowstone dust, because it drops the dust when mined.
Usage
