Minecraft Snapshot 21w03a

Release: 4 years ago

Today's Caves & Cliffs snapshot is particularly shiny! You could almost say it's glowing... Oh wait, that's a squid.

New Features in 21w03a

​

• Added Glow Lichen!
• Added the Glow Squid!

​

Glow Lichen

• A dim light source that generates in caves
• Use shears to pick it up
• Use bonemeal to spread it along block surfaces

​

Glow Squid

Glow squids have been added, but do not yet spawn naturally. You can find spawn eggs for them in the creative inventory.

• Glow Squids are well-lit and can be seen from even far distances!
• When killed, Glow Squids drop Glow Ink Sacs
• Glow Ink Sacs can be used on signs to make the text super visible, even at night! Works with colors!
• Craft a Glow Item Frame by combining a Glow Ink Sac with an Item Frame in a Crafting Table. Any item in a Glow Item Frame is perfectly illuminated, even at night!
• Use an Ink Sac on a sign to remove the glow effect
• Axolotls will attack any Glow Squids they see, so...be careful
