Pixel Shards are valuable resources that can be collected by players while engaging in multiplayer mode with at least one other player in the Valley. These rainbow-colored fragments appear randomly throughout the Valley, with a new shard appearing every five minutes. Each player has their own unique Pixel Shard spawns, which cannot be seen or collected by other players. It is worth mentioning that Pixel Shards will only start spawning after another player joins the game, even if the ValleyVerse multiplayer feature has been activated.

Glitchy Pixel Duplicates are created by combining Pixel Shards according to the recipes listed in the Refined Materials section of the crafting station. Players have the option to craft two variations of the Glitchy Pixel Duplicate, each named the same but differing in the number of charges they possess - either 5 charges or 12 charges.

Glitch Pixel Duplicates serve as versatile crafting items that function as a "wild card" to substitute for any missing material when constructing items at the crafting station. However, it is important to note that you cannot use a charge to replace an item in a recipe if you already possess the necessary materials. To maximize efficiency, these items are best utilized to replace the challenging-to-obtain Timebending Treasures needed for crafting Disney Dreamlight Valley's Timebending Training Manuals.

Previously, there was a bug related to Glitchy Pixel Duplicates that resulted in players losing Dreamlight. Fortunately, this issue has been rectified, and affected players are receiving compensation for their lost Dreamlight through in-game mail.

Pixelized Cooking Flames

Pixel Shards can also be utilized in the creation of Pixelized Cooking Flames, which are consumable items that provide temporary special effects similar to Elixirs. These effects enhance various gathering abilities such as Fishing and Mining, and the recipes for these flames can be located in the "Potions & Enchantments" category.

When a player uses a Pixelized Cooking Flame, they will generate an additional dish for each meal crafted at a cooking station. The standard Pixelized Cooking Flame is effective for 5 meals, while the Superior Pixelized Cooking Flame doubles the output for the next 12 meals created. The remaining charges can be easily monitored through a special icon displayed at the bottom right corner of the screen during the cooking process.
