Candle

A candle is a light source, which exists in an uncolored variant and 16 dyed ones. Candles can be lit with flint and steel and extinguished by water or by right-clicking. They can also be waterlogged, but cannot be lit while waterlogged.

Obtaining
Candles can be mined using any tool, or without a tool.

Light
Candles can be used as a light source, emitting light like a sea pickle. A single candle emits a light level of 3. Up to four identically colored candles may be placed in one block, with each candle increasing the emitted light level by 3, for a maximum light level of 12. They also emit fire particles.

Candles are not lit when they are placed, and must be lit using flint and steel, fire charge, or any flaming projectile. $$, a Fire Aspect book or any sword enchanted with Fire Aspect can also be used to light candles. Candles may be waterlogged, but waterlogged candles cannot be lit. Lit candles can be extinguished using water (even a water bottle) or by the player with the candle.

Cakes
A single candle of any color may be on an uneaten cake, turning it into a candle cake, which acts as a normal single candle. Only one candle can be placed on a cake. If the candle cake is eaten or destroyed, the candle is dropped.

Trivia

 * Candles are similar to the concept of burnt-out torches from the Halloween Update.
 * Using the command  allows for a both lit and waterlogged candle. The same thing can be done using the debug stick.
 * When the candle was first added to Bedrock Edition (Bedrock Edition 1.17.10), torches, levers, buttons, item frames, glow lichen, and other blocks that can be placed on all block faces could be placed on top and on the side of candles, despite candles not being full blocks, which made the torch appear floating midair. This could also be done with blocks like pressure plates, flower pots, and carpet when placed on top, and things like paintings, wall signs, and ladders placed on the side face, and even things like weeping vines, lanterns, and pointed dripstone can be placed on the bottom face of the candles. Weird.
