Gravity-affected blocks like [[Minecraft:sand]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]] will not start falling if the space immediately beneath is occupied by a torch. Falling blocks break if they fall onto a solid block with a torch above it. If there is an [[Minecraft:air]] block under the torch, the falling blocks fall through the torch onto the surface below.<ref>{{bug|MC-3262|||WAI}}</ref> | Gravity-affected blocks like [[Minecraft:sand]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]] will not start falling if the space immediately beneath is occupied by a torch.

Template:For Template:Infobox block Torches are non-solid Minecraft:blocks that emit Minecraft:light.
Obtaining
Breaking
Torches can be broken instantly using anything, and drop themselves as an item. Template:Breaking row A torch is removed and drops itself as an item if:
- Its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
- Minecraft:Water or Minecraft:lava flows into its space
- A Minecraft:piston pushes it or moves a block into its space
Crafting
Natural generation
In the Minecraft:Overworld, torches can be found among the supports in a Minecraft:mineshaft's corridors, as part of Minecraft:village lamp posts and most houses, in various rooms in Minecraft:strongholds, in the basements of Minecraft:igloos, in Minecraft:woodland mansions, and on top of Minecraft:pillager outposts. Torches also generate around Minecraft:bonus chests if each side has a block at the same height around it. Torches also generate in Minecraft:ancient cities.
Generated loot
Post-generation
When the Minecraft:ender dragon dies or is re-summoned using Minecraft:end crystals, the four torches on the exit portal regenerate. If the original torches are still in position, they drop as items, and the new torches take their place.
Usage
Torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some blocks require Template:Control. Being non-solid, torches have no collision box. More information about placement can be found at Minecraft:Opacity/Placement.
Gravity-affected blocks like Minecraft:sand and Minecraft:gravel will not start falling if the space immediately beneath is occupied by a torch. Falling blocks break if they fall onto a solid block with a torch above it. If there is an Minecraft:air block under the torch, the falling blocks fall through the torch onto the surface below.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Light
Torches give off a Minecraft:light level of 14. Torches also melt Minecraft:snow layers within 2 blocks and Minecraft:ice within 3 blocks (Minecraft:taxicab distance).
When the Minecraft:Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft:Minecraft Preview, the top part of torches emits colored point lighting with Template:Color. This causes the bottom part of the torch to render a small square shadow.
