Natural generation

Both crimson and warped huge fungi can generate shroomlights near the top. This includes both naturally generated huge fungi and huge fungi grown with bone meal.

Usage

Light source

Shroomlights provide a light level of 15, the highest level in the game. Unlike glowstone, shroomlights also allow redstone signals to pass through them, as they are treated like a solid block.

Composting

Placing a shroomlight into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
