Last updated
Ever found yourself wandering in the dark spaces of Minecraft and wondering how to light things up? Torches are your best friend in these shadowy times. But how exactly do you build a torch in this sandbox game of endless possibilities?
Let’s dive straight into how you can create torches to light up your Minecraft adventures. Whether you’re exploring deep caves or building your dream castle, knowing how to make a torch is essential!
Simple Steps to Make a Torch in Minecraft
Making a torch in Minecraft is pretty easy and requires minimal materials. All you need are sticks and coal or charcoal. First, find yourself some wood, which you can get by punching trees. Turn that wood into planks and then into sticks. Next, you’ll need coal, which you can mine with a pickaxe from coal ores usually found in cave systems.
Once you have sticks and coal, open your crafting table or inventory crafting grid. Place one stick in the bottom-middle slot and coal directly above it. Voila! You’ve just crafted yourself four torches. Torches not only light up your world but also prevent enemies from spawning in the illuminated areas.
