Colored torches break instantly and drop itself when broken using anything. The tool does not take any damage. Colored torches are also broken if pushed by a piston.
Crafting[edit]
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cerium Chloride or Mercuric Chloride or Potassium Chloride or Tungsten Chloride + Torch |
Cerium Chloride: Blue Mercuric Chloride: Red Potassium Chloride: Purple Tungsten Chloride: Green [Bedrock and Education editions only] |
Usage[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
In general, torches can be placed only on solid, opaque, full blocks; exceptions are listed below.
| Block name | Torch placeable |
|---|---|
| Slab | Top of top-half slabs |
| Fence | Top only |
| Cobblestone Wall | Top only |
| Glass | Yes |
| Stained Glass | Yes |
| Hopper | Top only |
| Snow | Top of 8-layer thick snow |
| Soul Sand | Yes |
| Piston | Yes |
