Candle

The Candle is a light-emitting block used for decorative lighting and atmospheric builds. A single Candle emits a light level of 3, but up to four Candles can be placed in one block space, increasing the light level up to 12. A Candle is crafted using 1 Honeycomb and 1 String in a 3×3 crafting grid. It does not generate naturally and must be crafted by the player. It can also be dyed into 16 different colors by combining a Candle with any dye in a crafting grid.

A Candle must be lit using Flint and Steel or Fire Charges and will remain lit until broken or extinguished by water. It can be placed on solid blocks and on top of uneaten cakes, making it useful for birthday cakes and celebrations. Unlike Lanterns or Torches, Candles do not emit a high light level and are mainly used for ambient lighting rather than mob-proofing.

A Candle can be mined instantly by hand or with any tool. Unlike Glowstone or Lanterns, a Candle provides customizable and aesthetic lighting rather than practical illumination, making it ideal for detailed interior and exterior decoration.
