Minecraft:Soul Torch: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:58, 9 April 2026

Template:Infobox block Soul torches are non-solid Minecraft:blocks that emit light. They are a variant of the Minecraft:torch crafted with the addition of soul soil or soul sand.

Obtaining

Breaking

Soul torches can be broken instantly using anything, and drop themselves as an item. Script error: No such module "breaking row". A soul 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

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Usage

File:Soul Torch Orientations.png

Soul torches in various positions on chiseled stone bricks.

Soul torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some blocks require {{#vardefine: control | shift on keyboard or right button on the right side of gamepad }}sneaking. Being non-solid, soul torches have no collision box. More information about placement can be found at Opacity/Placement.

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

Light

Soul torches give off a light level of 10. Because their light level is lower than 12, soul torches do not melt Minecraft:snow or Minecraft:ice.

When the Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft:Minecraft Preview, the top part of soul torches emits colored point lighting with Template:Color. This causes the bottom part of the soul torch to render a small square shadow.

Mobs

Soul torches repel Minecraft:piglins but not piglin brutes.
