A recoverable light source that attaches to a solid block’s top or side. Coal and charcoal recipes each produce four torches.

Craft it using either recipe below.
Select a torch in your hotbar to cast strong warm light up to fourteen blocks away as you explore, or place it on a supported top or side face to light the area. Placed illumination and torch models remain visible through the terrain view distance, including across large bases with many torches. Nearby highlights and shadows blend smoothly. Holding a torch also adds a soft warm glow around you, revealing nearby shadows. Switching items or using the last held torch turns off the carried light. Removing a placed torch’s support drops it; water can wash it away. Held and placed torches do not burn fuel or need electricity. Placed torches also support crops within five open-cell steps, including underground; see Lighting and underground farms.
