About White Candle

The White Candle is a small decorative light source, the white-dyed version of the ordinary candle. It works well for mood lighting, path markers, or detail in builds where a full lantern would feel too bulky.

  • You can place up to four candles on the same block.
  • Each lit candle adds 3 light levels, so four candles give off light level 12.
  • Light candles with flint and steel or a fire charge.

Candles are much smaller than torches and fit neatly into indoor or decorative scenes.

How to get White Candle

White Candles are made by crafting. Combine one regular candle with white dye in a crafting grid. Regular candles are crafted from string and honeycomb, and white dye comes from bone meal or lily of the valley. You can also dye a candle found in an ancient city, but white candles do not appear ready-made in chests.
