Shroomlights are light-emitting blocks that generate in huge fungi.

Shroomlight blocks can be broken using any tool, but a hoe is the fastest. They always drop themselves as an item

Post-generation[]
Both crimson and warped huge fungi can generate shroomlights near their tops. 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 allows 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.
