About Orange Candle

The Orange Candle is a decorative light source that adds a soft, warm glow to builds. Like other candles, it can be placed on its own or clustered with up to three more candles on the same block, so you can control how bright the spot feels.

You light it with flint and steel or a fire charge. Each lit candle gives off a small amount of light, and stacking more candles on the block makes the light stronger. Water can put it out, so keep it sheltered if you want it to stay lit.

How to get Orange Candle

You can only get an Orange Candle by crafting it. Combine a regular candle with orange dye in a crafting grid, and you get one orange candle. Regular candles are made from string and honeycomb, so you need a bee nest or hive nearby for honeycomb. Orange dye comes from orange tulips or from mixing red and yellow dye. You cannot find orange candles in chests or trade for them.
