Usage

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 similarly-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. Candles may be waterlogged, but waterlogged candles cannot be lit. Lit candles can be extinguished using water or by the player interacting with the candle.

Cakes

Candle Cake

A candle cake created by placing a candle on an uneaten cake.

A single candle of any color may be placed onto an uneaten cake, after which it acts as a normal single candle. Only one candle may be placed on a cake. If the cake is eaten, the candle falls off.

'''Cooked mutton''' is a [[food]] item obtained from cooking [[raw mutton]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Sheep ====
Adult [[sheep]] drop 1–2 cooked mutton if killed while on fire. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[looting]], for a maximum of 1-5 with Looting III.

=== Cooking ===
Cooked mutton can be obtained by cooking raw mutton in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]].

{{Smelting

}}

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, apprentice-level butcher [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell 4 cooked mutton for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, butcher villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect cooked mutton.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
To eat cooked mutton, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} [[hunger]] and 9.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]], the same as [[cooked salmon]].

=== Wolves ===
Cooked mutton can be used to [[breed]] and heal tamed [[wolves]], lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.
