About the Light Blue Candle

The Light Blue Candle is a decorative light source in a soft blue colour. It works just like other candles: you can place it, light it with flint and steel or a fire charge, and extinguish it by hand or with water.

Key facts:

  • You can place up to four candles in a single block for a brighter glow.
  • Each lit candle adds a small amount of light.
  • The colour is purely decorative and does not change how the candle behaves.

How to get the Light Blue Candle

You get a Light Blue Candle by crafting it. First craft a regular candle from one string and one honeycomb. Then combine that candle with light blue dye in a crafting grid.

Light blue dye comes from blue orchids, or from mixing blue dye with white dye, so gathering the dye is usually the final step.
