Minecraft:Candle

Template:Infobox block 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:dyed 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

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		Light level
1	File:Candle (lit) JE2 BE1.png	3
2	File:Two Candles (lit) JE2 BE1.png	6
3	File:Three Candles (lit) JE2 BE1.png	9
4	File:Four Candles (lit) JE2 BE1.png	12

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. Template:IN, 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 bottleTemplate:Only), wind charges, or by the player Template:Ctrl 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 point lighting with Template:Color. This causes the bottom part of the candle to render a small shadow below it.

Cakes

A single candle of any color may be Template:Control 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. Template:Control 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.

History

Trivia

• Using the command /Minecraft:setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:candle[lit=true,waterlogged=true] allows for a both lit and waterlogged 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.
