'''Torches''' are non-solid [[block]]s that emit [[light]].

'''Soul torches''' are turquoise variants crafted with the addition of [[soul soil]] or [[soul sand]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

Torches can be found randomly generated among the supports in a [[mineshaft]]'s corridors, various rooms in [[stronghold]]s, as part of [[village]] lamp posts, in the basements of [[igloo]]s, in [[woodland mansion]]s, and in [[pillager outpost]]s. Torches generate around [[bonus chest]]s if each side has a block at the same height around it. In [[The End]], torches generate as part of the [[exit portal]], around the second pillar block from the top. Whenever the [[Ender Dragon]] dies or respawns, these torches regenerate.

=== Breaking ===

Torches can be broken instantly using anything, and drop themselves as an item.

A torch is removed and drops itself as an item if:
*its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
*[[water]] or [[lava]] flows into its space
*a [[piston]] pushes it or moves a block into its space

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|torch}}

=== Crafting ===

|B3= Stick
|Output= Torch, 4
|type= Decoration block

|foot=1
|B1= Coal; Charcoal; Coal; Charcoal
|B2= Stick
|B3= Soul Soil; Soul Soil; Soul Sand; Soul Sand
|Output= Soul Torch, 4
|type= Decoration block
}}

== Usage ==

[[File:Torch Orientations.png|thumb|Torches in various positions on [[chiseled stone bricks]].]]

Torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some blocks require {{control|sneaking}}. Being non-solid, torches have no collision box. More information about placement can be found at [[Opacity/Placement]].

Gravity-affected blocks like [[sand]] and [[gravel]] cannot fall if space immediately beneath is occupied by a torch. These blocks break if they fall onto a torch.

=== Light ===

Torches give off a [[light]] level of 14. Torches also melt [[snow layer]]s within 2 blocks and [[ice]] within 3 blocks (taxicab distance).

Soul torches give off a light level of 10. Due to their lower light level, soul torches do not melt snow or ice.

=== Piglins ===

Soul torches repel [[piglins]].
