Easiest Glowstone Collection EVAR!
While trying to make my way to a portal construction site I was planning in the Nether, I saw this glowstone growth way above me.
With my graphics card upgraded today (yay!), I felt more confident about venturing up there without frame-rate issues hampering my progress, but I was still concerned that there would be a gaping hole into a lava lake, once I'd got up close to the glowstone.
There are times when I like to be wrong, and this is one of them! The ground is lovely and flat, with no precipitous drops nearby to give me sweaty palms (I get those a lot in the Nether, and not from standing near lava...).
Mind you, knowing my karma, I'll hack one out, and be met with a new lava fall that I can admire for the few remaining seconds of my avatar's life...
UPDATE: No problems mining it, and I ended up with 32 glowstone dust. Nice.
