A copper torch is a non-solid block that emits light. Copper torches can also be used to craft copper lanterns.

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

A copper 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

Copper torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some blocks require sneaking. Being non-solid, copper torches have no collision box. More information about placement can be found at Opacity/Placement.

Gravity-affected blocks like sand and gravel do not start falling if the space immediately beneath is occupied by a copper torch. Falling blocks break if they fall onto a solid block with a copper torch above it. If there is an air block under the copper torch, the falling blocks fall through the copper torch onto the surface below.^[1]

Copper torches do not oxidize. The copper is being used as part of the torch's fuel and not the base.

Copper torches give off a light level of 14. Copper torches also melt snow layers within 2 blocks and ice within 3 blocks (taxicab distance).

When the Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft Preview, the top part of copper torches emits colored point lighting with
 #86ca59. This causes the bottom part of the copper torch to render a small square shadow.

Issues relating to "Copper Torch" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• In real life, green fire can be produced by introducing copper(II) salts such as copper(II) sulfate and copper(II) chloride into a flame, in a process called flame test.
  • Copper in its metal form does not reliably work for this purpose, as the flame color is produced by metal ions.
