Gloomwood Grove

Quickstart

Craft the Gloomwood Grove block at a crafting table:

Place it using the usual block-placement control. If you break it, it drops a Gloomwood Grove block you can pick up and place again. From there, try the dark wood, crystal, and bloom-themed building blocks below; Glowmoss Stone and Luminous Amethyst emit light.

Overview

Gloomwood Grove is a collection of craftable blocks for building a shadowy, enchanted-looking grove. It offers several wood styles, dark and mossy stone, glowing blocks, crystal-themed blocks, and colorful decorative surfaces. Place and break them with the usual Minecraft controls.

What It Adds

• Wood: Gloomwood Bark and Planks, Mosswood Planks, Moonbark Log, Shadowroot Log and Planks.
• Stone: Gloomstone and its brick, polished, mossy, rootstone, slate, and other variations.
• Glow and crystal styles: Glowmoss Stone, Luminous Amethyst, three crystal ore blocks, Moonstone Block, and Frosted Crystal Bricks.
• Decorative finishes: Nightbloom Terracotta and Azure and Magenta Bloom Tiles.

How To Use

Craft blocks at a crafting table, then place them as building materials. Use an axe on the wood-family blocks and a pickaxe on the stone and crystal-family blocks. Glowmoss Stone and Luminous Amethyst can add light to a build.
