Usage

[edit | edit source]

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 | edit source]

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.

When the Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft Preview, the top part of colored torches emits colored point lighting with
 #0000ff
for blue torches,
 #ff00ff
for purple torches,
 #ff0000
for red torches, and
 #00ff00
for green torches. This causes the bottom part of the torch to render a small square shadow.

Placement

[edit | edit source]

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
Wall Top only
Glass Yes
Stained Glass Yes
Hopper Top only
Snow Top of 8-layer thick snow
Soul Sand Yes
Piston Yes
Monster Spawner Yes
