Usage

[edit | edit source]

The underwater torch can be used exactly like a normal torch, only it can be underwater.

  • Underwater 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, an underwater torch has no collision box.
  • Gravity-affected blocks like sand and gravel do not fall if the block below them has an underwater torch on it, and they break if they fall onto an underwater torch.

Placement

[edit | edit source]

In general, underwater torches can be placed only on solid, opaque, and full blocks; exceptions are listed below.

Block name Underwater 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 but not the sides of extended piston arms
Monster Spawner Yes

Light

[edit | edit source]

Underwater torches emit a light level of 14. Underwater torches also melt snow layers and ice within 2 blocks (taxicab distance).

Piston interactivity

[edit | edit source]

Underwater torch is destroyed when the piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by the sticky piston.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • The crafting recipe refers to the fact that magnesium metal can burn in pure water vapor. Magnesium has a similar reaction with hot water, but it is slower and does not look like burning.
  • If magnesium catches fire, water cannot be used to extinguish it. This is because magnesium reacts with hot water (and water vapor) to form explosive hydrogen gas.
