How to Get Shroomlight in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Shroomlights generate near the top of crimson and warped huge fungi. Break them with any tool (a hoe is fastest) and they always drop themselves. They give light level 15, the highest in the game, and unlike glowstone they let redstone signals pass.

What you need

Hoe (optional)
Bone meal and a fungus (optional)

Step by step

Go to a crimson or warped forest in the Nether and find a huge fungus.
Look near the top of the huge fungus for shroomlight blocks.
Break them with any tool. A hoe is fastest. They always drop as an item.
For a renewable source, grow a huge fungus with bone meal on a crimson or warped fungus: grown fungi also generate shroomlights near the top.
Place them for light level 15.

Java vs Bedrock

Shroomlights are treated like a solid block, so redstone signals pass through them.

Versions: Hoes became the proper tool for shroomlights in Java Edition 20w11a.
