Last updated
Ever wonder how you can light up your Minecraft world with something other than torches? Let’s dive into how you can craft candles to add a cozy or spooky vibe to your creations!
So, you’re curious about crafting candles in Minecraft, right? Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
Quick Steps to Craft Candles
To craft candles in Minecraft, you’ll need two things: honeycomb and string. First, you have to find or create honeycomb. Bees in Minecraft produce honeycombs, so find a bee nest or beehive and use shears on it. Each action gives you one honeycomb. Next, you need string, which you can get by defeating spiders or finding it in chests.
Once you have a honeycomb and a string, go to your crafting table. Place the honeycomb in the middle of the crafting grid and the string directly above it. This recipe will give you one candle. Remember, you can dye your candles to different colors by adding a dye of your choice next to the candle in the crafting grid.
