About Brown Candle

Brown Candle is a dyed candle that works as a small, warm light source. It starts unlit, so you need to light it with flint and steel or a fire charge. Once lit, it gives off a soft glow. Water puts it out.

You can stack up to four candles in one block, and each lit candle adds more light, up to 12 when all four are burning. That makes it handy for cozy, controlled lighting or rustic decoration. The brown dye gives it an earthy, wooden tone.

How to get Brown Candle

You can only get Brown Candle by crafting it. Combine one plain candle with one brown dye in the crafting grid to make one brown candle. Plain candles are made from string and honeycomb, so gathering honeycomb is usually the most time-consuming part. Brown dye is easy to get from cocoa beans if you have a jungle nearby.
