About the Cyan Candle
The Cyan Candle is a small decorative light source in a soft cyan colour. You can place up to four candles in the same block, and the more candles you add, the brighter the group becomes. Light them with flint and steel or a fire charge.
Key facts:
- A single lit candle gives off light level 3, and each extra candle in the same block adds 3 more, up to 12.
- You can place a candle on top of an uneaten cake as a decoration.
- The flame does not spread, so it is safe for indoor builds.
How to get the Cyan Candle
You craft Cyan Candles. First make a regular candle from honeycomb and string, then combine that candle with cyan dye in a crafting grid. Cyan dye can be crafted from blue and green dye, or made from a pitcher plant. Cyan candles do not generate in the world, so crafting is the only way to obtain them.
