Minecraft:Copper Torch

Template:For Template:Infobox block A copper torch is a non-solid block that emits light. Copper torches can also be used to craft Minecraft:copper lanterns.

Obtaining

Breaking

Copper torches can be broken instantly using anything, and drop themselves as an item. Template:Breaking row A copper 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

Usage

Copper torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some blocks require Template:Control. Being non-solid, copper 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 do not start falling if the space immediately beneath is occupied by a copper torch. Falling blocks break if they fall onto a solid block with a copper torch above it. If there is an Minecraft:air block under the copper torch, the falling blocks fall through the copper torch onto the surface below.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Copper torches do not Minecraft:oxidize. The copper is being used as part of the torch's fuel and not the base.

Light

Copper torches give off a light level of 14. Copper 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 copper torches emits colored point lighting with Template:Color. This causes the bottom part of the copper torch to render a small square shadow.

History

Trivia

• In real life, green fire can be produced by introducing copper(II) salts such as Template:W and Template:W into a flame, in a process called Template:W.
  • Copper in its metal form does not reliably work for this purpose, as the flame color is produced by metal ions.
