Looking for a way to make Candles in Minecraft? Here is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you out.
The vast overworld of Minecraft features different light sources, including torches, lanterns, and campfires. Among these, Candles are another option, introduced in the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update of 2021, and can be used for lighting and decorative purposes.
You can stack Candles on the same block to increase the light level. A single Candle emits a light level of 3, and you can place up to four Candles on a single block, reaching a total light level of 12. Here is everything you need to know about Candles in Minecraft.
Ingredients To Craft a Candle in Minecraft
In Minecraft, the recipe for a Candle is simple. You will need the following items:
- 1 x String
- 1 x Honeycomb
Here are the further details to obtain these ingredients:
- String: In the vast overworld, obtaining string is a challenging process. You can obtain string by killing spiders and mining out the cobwebs. Additionally, there are chances to get the string from the chests in dungeons and desert temples.
- Honeycomb: You can obtain a honeycomb from the beehive. When you find a beehive in a forest biome, light a campfire beneath it to prevent the bees from attacking. Soon, the fire will cause the honeycomb to drop from the beehive.
Once you obtain the ingredients, it is time to craft a Candle.
Crafting Candles in Minecraft
Follow these steps to obtain a Candle in Minecraft:
- Open the crafting table, and you will spot a 3×3 grid.
- Place the string directly above the honeycomb, stacked vertically.
- Once you place the ingredients in the correct order, you will obtain a Candle in the adjacent box.
- From there, you can transfer it to your inventory.
As you used a honeycomb in the crafting process, you will receive a default colored Candle. However, you can also make different colored candles by simply adding the dye of your choice to the crafting grid along with the Candle.
