A torch in Minecraft is a light source that’s commonly used to brighten dimly lit areas, fend off hostile mobs, and for decorative purposes. Crafting a torch is a fairly simple process; players will need to combine one stick with one piece of coal or charcoal to create a torch.
Torches in Minecraft are an indispensable tool for survival and exploration. They can be placed on walls, floors, or ceilings to illuminate dark areas, effectively expanding the playable space and making it safer to navigate caves or abandoned structures. Additionally, torches play a crucial role in deterring hostile mobs such as zombies, skeletons, and creepers, which makes it easier to set up a safe shelter or explore dangerous areas without being constantly attacked.
