What does Rainbow Energy do in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

After exploring Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Inside Out realm, you may have noticed a new recipe in your rafting station for Rainbow Energy. How do you get its required ingredients? How do you use it? Here’s everything you need to know about Rainbow Energy.

How to make Rainbow Energy in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Making Rainbow Energy in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires gathering a flashy diamond and a bright bulb lamp. You’ll find both within the Inside Out realm, but you’ll need to interact with the environment outside of your quest paths for both.

The first item, the flashy diamond, is obtainable by interacting with the vial shelves in the Inside Out realm’s starting room. If you start from the console where you found Joy for the first time, turn toward the crafting station before turning right toward the shelf. The diamond will appear after interacting with the spot.

The bright bulb lamp requires progressing far enough into the Inside Out realm’s story to begin the Get Up and Glow quest. During this mission, you’ll traverse an orb-filled maze in search of Riley’s memories. Partway through it, you’ll find a memory along a wall, with an orb routing puzzle nearby. Completing this lowers a chunk of the orb wall, leading you directly to the lamp.

While previous routing puzzles have been straightforward, this one has a twist. One of the consoles has blank panels, so you can’t immediately tell which pegs it rotates. Using it once will confirm that it affects the blue and orange pegs, letting you then press the middle console to lower the wall.

Once you have both items, go to any crafting station to make the Rainbow Energy bottle. You’re now ready to unlock a special secret item.

How to use Rainbow Energy in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Rainbow Energy is a key ingredient for crafting a Bing Bong Plushie. You’ll need the following items to make it:

• Everlasting Cotton Candy
• Tiny Bowtie
• Tiny Bowler Hat
• Rainbow Energy

The other three items are also available in the Inside Out realm. You’ll find Everlasting Cotton Candy inside a locker while searching for a Mind Worker helmet and gloves, with the tiny bowler hat spawning next to a cart of golden orbs during the Out of the Blue quest. The last item, a tiny bowtie, is hiding inside the Dream Production Studio you enter throughout the realm’s storyline.

Once you obtain these three items and craft the Rainbow Energy with your flashy diamond and bright bulb lamp, bring everything to a crafting station to make the Bing Bong Plushie. You won’t need it for any quests, so you can safely place it anywhere you’d like for some extra cuteness in your village.
