What are Cave Vines?

Cave Vines are plant blocks in Minecraft that grow from the ceiling and produce Glow Berries, a food source that also emits light. They add an organic, overgrown aesthetic to underground environments and provide an alternative way to obtain food in caves.

Where Can Cave Vines Be Found?

Cave Vines naturally generate in Lush Caves biomes, hanging from ceilings with Glow Berries occasionally growing on them. Players can collect Cave Vines by breaking them, while Glow Berries can be obtained by right-clicking a vine with berries.

What Can Players Do with Cave Vines?

Cave Vines can be used as decorative hanging plants for underground bases, overgrown ruins, or jungle-style builds. They also function as a renewable food source when Glow Berries grow on them. If Bone Meal is applied to a Cave Vine, it forces the vine to grow a Glow Berry, making it a controllable food farm. More details about farming mechanics can be found in the Farming Guide.
