Usage

While equipped, players can use glow sticks to shake them, causing them to appear bright regardless of the light level. This is only an aesthetic change, as no light is emitted to the surrounding area. A particle effect is visible until the durability runs out. The glow stick's durability depletes while lit, in both Survival and Creative modes.
