Usage

Torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some require sneaking (see placement for exceptions). Being non-solid, torches have no collision box.

Gravity-affected blocks like sand and gravel do not fall if the block below them has a torch on it and break when falling onto a torch.

Light

Torches emit a light level of 14. Torches also melt snow layers within 2 blocks and ice within 3 blocks (taxicab distance). Colored torches emit normal light, not colored light, and therefore the coloring is purely aesthetic.

Placement

In general, torches can be placed only on solid, opaque, full blocks; exceptions are listed below.

Trivia

  • As with Sparklers, the flame colors correspond to results from a flame test performed on these chloride salts.
