Overview
Glow Lichen is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through breaking with shears and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Glow Lichen.
The game rates Glow Lichen at 0.2 hardness. An explosion meets the same 0.2, so Glow Lichen is no safer against TNT than against a tool. Any axe will do on Glow Lichen, from wood upward.
