About Green Candle

The Green Candle is a small decorative light source. You place it like a normal candle, then light it with flint and steel or a fire charge. It is handy for color-coded builds, paths, and soft indoor lighting.

Key facts:

  • You can stack up to four candles in one block to make a brighter cluster.
  • Each lit candle gives a light level of 3, so four together give light level 12.
  • The green color comes from crafting with green dye.

How to get Green Candle

You get Green Candles by crafting them. Combine a regular candle with green dye in a crafting grid. First craft a regular candle from honeycomb and string. Green dye is usually made by smelting cactus in a furnace. Dyed candles like this one are not found ready-made in loot chests, so crafting is your only route.
