A '''candle''' is a dyable [[Minecraft:block]] that emits [[Minecraft:light]] when lit with a [[Minecraft:flint and steel]]. Up to four of the same color of candle can be placed in one block space, which affects the amount of light produced.

'''Dyed candles''' are the [[Minecraft:dye]]d variants of candles that come in all sixteen colors, that once dyed, cannot be changed into a different color.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
All candles can be mined using any tool, or without a tool.

=== Natural generation ===
Non-dyed candles and white candles can be found in [[Minecraft:ancient cities]]. Non-dyed and red candles can also be found in the [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].

== Usage ==
=== Light ===
[[File:Four Candles (lit) JE2 BE1.gif|right|150px]]
All candles can be used as a light source, emitting light like a [[Minecraft:sea pickle]]. A single candle emits a light level of 3. Up to four identically colored candles may be placed in one block, with each candle increasing the emitted light level by 3, for a maximum light level of 12. They also emit fire particles.

Candles are not lit when they are placed, and must be lit using [[Minecraft:flint and steel]], [[Minecraft:fire charge]], or any flaming projectile. If any candle is already lit, more candle(s) that may be added (if possible) are also lit. {{IN|bedrock}}, a mob/player that is burning or any [[Minecraft:sword]] enchanted with Fire Aspect can also be used to light candles. Any candle may be [[Minecraft:waterlogged]], but waterlogged candles cannot be lit. Lit candles can be extinguished using [[Minecraft:water]] (even a water bottle{{only|java}}), [[Minecraft:Wind Charge|wind charges]], or by the player {{ctrl|interacting}} with the candle.

When the [[Minecraft:Render Dragon Features for Creators]] experiment is enabled in ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft Preview]]'', the center of all types of lit candles emits colored [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals#Point lighting|point lighting]] with {{Color|#d3852b}}. This causes the bottom part of the candle to render a small shadow below it.

{{-}}

=== Cakes ===
[[File:Cake_with_Candle_JE1_BE1.png|right|150px]]
A single candle of any color may be {{control|used}} on an uneaten [[Minecraft:cake]], turning it into a candle cake, which acts as a normal, singular candle on top of a cake. If the candle cake is eaten at all or destroyed, the candle is dropped. {{control|Interacting}} with the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it. Interacting with a lit candle cake causes the player to eat it if possible, but if the held item is a [[Minecraft:flint and steel]] or [[Minecraft:fire charge]], the appropriate block becomes lit, if possible (otherwise nothing happens).

Lit candled cakes emit the same point lighting as regular candles.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Using the command <code>/[[Minecraft:setblock]] ~ ~ ~ minecraft:candle[lit=true,waterlogged=true]</code> allows for a both lit and [[Minecraft:Waterlogging|waterlog]]ged candle. The same thing can be done using the [[Minecraft:debug stick]].
* If used in an outdated ''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]]'' world, it has a flat unknown texture and cannot be placed.
