Yes I know what it says. You don't actually need to collect glowstone from trees. Witch droppers in the nether will work.
And I understand that you need the last island for it as well, hence why I said it's expensive. I don't disagree that they need to do something to make this quest less grindy, but there is an alternate way to get the glowstone. Unless they make it so that the witches don't work, I don't intend on mining any more glowstone by hand.
Weirdly enough, the act of the hopper picking up the items counts. You don't need to pick them up yourself.
And for those saying it would be too difficult, are you telling me that literally making a dead bush literally turn into a glowstone tree in some hours is more difficult than just making some glowstone disappear smh
Make glowstone leaves decay o-o

I think it should be a setting, because in truth they are not really leaves but it would be cool. But I also like them being in weird clumps floating to be honest.
It would take a bit of programming from the Developers, I assume it is possibly in some way. It also would be helpful within the game. I've seen this suggestion before, but nothing happened (if I remember correctly). I do like this idea though, even though I haven't played much of the Nether yet.
I would just love them to make them affected by efficiency pick or axe would prob be simpler to program.
It's very expensive, and slightly annoying due to all the other drops, but you can build a witch dropper in the nether and AFK to rack up the glow stone.
There are quests that require you to gather glowstone from trees, and for that you need the last overworld island.

Would you have to pick up the glowstone dust that the witch drops directly for it to count? Or does pulling from a chest/hopper count?

It would be devastating to builders to add Glowstone decay. They would either have to add a lot more lag tracking whether or not a Glowstone was connected to a tree, or make all glowstone decay, and that wouldn't work because you wouldn't be able to have unobtrusive Glowstone due to needing cobblestone walls
The programming behind doing something like this doesn't seem like something the current CubeCraft dev team would be able to handle without making sacrifices elsewhere, and it would take glowstone away from you assuming you are using a fortune pickaxe. If the fortune applies to decayed leaves, say, as long as you're holding it, this gives you free uses of the pickaxe and seems a bit unfair. Although I do absolutely hate the glowstone quests, I can't see this being quite the best solution.
It would just be like vanilla, so they would decay after a while, if the cobblestone wall is removed. If you want to fortune them you would have to mine them. Also you can't fortune them anyway I don't think

I did 75.000 glowstone quest in 6 hours fully afk, just use witch grinder :)
Fortune works 100%. The idea that they only decay of the cobble is removed i DO like, but would make fortune-ing it all mildly annoying but I still think if they added it it would be very worth it. Of the one or so dev(s) working on skyblock, making a timer to convert a plant (deadbush) into a tree with a random height and set easily once-calculatable block generation around it is much easier server-side than running a custom randomized formula for each of those many blocks individually, and the calculation of 10 islands having decaying trees at once or even one with a very large tree farm (one guy on the discord has a ridiculous one for glowstone trees) might start crashing servers. This is before considering all the work that would go into making a formula that works as well as vanilla leaf decay on such a larger scale per tree.
Okay, this is the only solution though. You can't really make you mine it faster since no tool mines it even with efficiency, and haste could easily be abused
I agree. This is a real pain. Even mining with fortune pickaxe is not worth it. This feature makes this game very... very boring. I had to spend 5 hours to finish 10.000 glowstone quest

Stop complaining about people putting their names in bug reports, thank you!
