Where Can Glow Item Frames Be Found?

Glow Item Frames do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. They are crafted by combining a regular Item Frame with a Glow Ink Sac, which is dropped by Glow Squids found in underground lakes and deep water. More details about Glow Squids can be found in the Glow Squid article.

What Can Players Do with a Glow Item Frame?

Glow Item Frames function similarly to regular Item Frames but with the added effect of making the displayed item stand out in the dark. They are commonly used in shops, map walls, and storage rooms where visibility is important. Unlike standard Item Frames, they do not require additional lighting to keep items clearly visible. More details about item display techniques can be found in the Storage and Organization Guide.
