[[Tree]]s grow more fruit in light. A Blockhead's [[Environment Bar|environment bar]] will tend to reduce in low light.
[[Tree]]s grow more fruit in light. A blockhead's [[Environment Bar|environment bar]] will tend to reduce in low light, and it will try to [[Travel#Walking|move]] around a completely unlit area.


Light can partially penetrate into solid, non-transparent blocks, allowing the player to see what's "buried" there. How far it penetrates is determined by the strength of the light. Even the strongest light (full daylight) cannot penetrate more than 4-5 blocks deep and quickly fades to black after that.

Most natural light comes from the [[Astronomy|sun]] in the day and the night has some light from stars and the moon. [[Weather]] may reduce the available light.

Some naturally spawned objects such as unmined [[Gold Nugget|gold ore]] may appear to give off light. Until a Blockhead uncovers the area where it is, they don't shine on their own. If a light source uncovers gold ore and then is removed, it will still give off light.

A Blockhead seems to give off a little light (not much but a player may still move them about 2 blocks at a time).

Mature [[Chilli Plant|chilli plants]] have a reddish glow strong enough to reveal adjacent items. This effect can persist even after it has dropped a [[chilli]].
 
Dropped [[Steel Lantern|steel lanterns]], [[Steel Downlight|steel downlights]], and [[Steel Uplight|steel uplights]] may glow faintly.
