Glowstone is a light emitting ore found in the Nether. It drops 2 to 4 Glowstone Dust when mined without Silk Touch or a Rock Cutter. Glowstone blocks can be processed in a Macerator or Pulverizer, guaranteeing four dust each time. With GregTech installed, a Compressor is necessary to create the block form out of dust.

A Wizard's Tower from Thaumcraft 3 has two blocks as lighting - not a significant source, but it can make getting an Electric Jetpack possible without a trip to the Nether. Glowstone Blocks also exist inside Hollow Hills in the Twilight Forest. Forestry also offers renewable Glowstone Dust via Bee Breeding.

Using a Jetpack, Electric Jetpack or GraviChestPlate can make Glowstone collection much easier, as can a Portal Gun. Portals can be placed on Glowstone itself, despite it being a technically "transparent" block.
