Torch
The Torch is a light-emitting block that prevents hostile mobs from spawning and is commonly used for illumination in caves, bases, and outdoor areas. It provides a light level of 14, making it one of the most efficient and accessible light sources. A Torch is crafted using 1 Stick and 1 Coal or Charcoal in a 3×3 crafting grid. It also generates naturally in villages, mineshafts, woodland mansions, strongholds, pillager outposts, and ancient cities.
A Torch can be placed on solid blocks, fences, and some transparent blocks, but it cannot be placed on ceilings. It provides permanent light and does not burn out over time. Since it prevents hostile mobs from spawning in low-light areas, it is essential for mob-proofing structures and underground tunnels. A Torch can be mined instantly by hand or with any tool. Unlike a Lantern, a Torch is cheaper to craft and does not require Iron Nuggets, making it one of the most common light sources in the game.
