The Moonworm is a block which functions much like a Firefly in that it is a natural source of lighting. Moonworms have no crafting recipe and are not used in any crafting recipes and can only be created by use of a Moonworm Queen. When using a Moonworm Queen, a Moonworm will be created whenever a block is right-clicked with the Moonworm Queen in hand. A Moonworm can also be launched to allow for long-range lighting solutions by holding down the right-click button with a Moonworm Queen in hand and aiming much as one would when using a bow; however, this uses up three Moonworm Queen charges.

Moonworms are a semi-renewable resource; due to the fact that the Moonworm Queen can be recharged by combining a Moonworm Queen with three Torchberries and due to Torchberries' abundance in caves, Moonworms are a potentially viable long-term source of lighting as a fully charged Moonworm Queen yields 256 Moonworms if the launching function is not used.

After being launched or placed, Moonworms can be broken but will not drop a Moonworm item and as such cannot be relocated once placed. Moonworms are water-soluble as Torches are and will occasionally change their orientation on the block that they are on by rotating themselves. Moonworms emit a block-light level of 14, equivalent to a Torch.
