Glowstone Dust is obtained by mining Glowstone, which can only be found in the Nether. Glowstone blocks drop 2-4 pieces of dust, which can be reformed into full blocks. Using a Pickaxe with a Fortune enchantment will increase the amount of dust dropped, but it will never exceed 4.

Filtering

Glowstone Dust will instantly turn into Brimstone when it is thrown on top of a Hopper that has been fitted with a Soul Sand block as a filter, but it will not fall through the hopper. It is very advisable to apply mechanical power to the hopper to release the extracted soul energy, as converting eight or more cumulative Glowstone Dust while it is unpowered will cause the hopper to explode, destroying half of the materials, the corner piece and the pressure plate.

During this process with a powered hopper, the extracted souls can optionally be captured by attaching an Urn below the Hopper to create Soul Urns, which are critical components of advanced devices and are one of the four components of Soulforged Steel. Every eight Glowstone Dust will fill one urn and cause it to drop off, leaving a place for a new urn. This process can be automated with the use of Block Dispensers and other devices.
