About Light Gray Candle
The Light Gray Candle is a dyed candle that acts as a small, controllable light source. It stays unlit until you use flint and steel or a fire charge on it, so you choose exactly when it glows.
Key facts:
- You can place up to four candles in the same block.
- Each lit candle adds 3 light levels, so four candles give a maximum of 12.
- Right-click a lit candle to extinguish it, or put it out with water.
It is mainly a decorative block, but it works well for subtle lighting and moody builds.
How to get Light Gray Candle
You get Light Gray Candles by crafting. Combine one regular candle with one light gray dye. Regular candles are made from string and honeycomb. Light gray dye comes from flowers like azure bluet, oxeye daisy, or white tulip, or from mixing gray and white dye. You will not find a finished light gray candle in chests or from villager trades.
