1 Glowstone + 4 Redstone => 1 Redstone Lamp

Trivia[]

Before the name was officially confirmed, Glowstone was also unofficially called lightstone, brimstone, and australium.
When Glowstone is broken, it has the same sound effect as breaking Glass, Sea Lanterns, and Ice.
Being a solid block, it can provide light underwater, unlike Torches.
Glowstone emits the same light level as the Sun, Fire, Lava, Jack O'Lanterns and Redstone Lamps.
Before Update 0.12.1, Glowstone could only be obtained by the Nether Reactor in the form of Glowstone Dust.
