Lighting Underwater Areas with Glow Sticks

Why Glow Sticks Work Underwater

Unlike torches and many other light sources, activated glow sticks continue to emit light even when fully submerged in water. This makes them invaluable for underwater exploration, base building, or navigating flooded caves.

Setting Up Underwater Lighting

Activate your glow sticks before entering the water, then place or throw them where you need illumination. You can position them on the seafloor, attach them to structures, or hold them while swimming. The light output remains consistent whether the stick is in air or water.

Exploring Underwater Structures

When exploring ocean monuments, underwater caves, or sunken structures, throw glow sticks ahead to light your path. This is especially useful for checking for dangers or finding resources without relying on night vision potions.

Creating Underwater Bases

Use glow sticks to light up underwater bases and builds. Since they work in water and come in multiple colors, you can create colorful lighting schemes for aesthetic underwater structures. Combine different colors to design unique underwater lighting patterns.
