− | '''Torches''' are [[Blocks|block]]s that emit [[light]]. When placed on a suitable surface, it adjusts its model in relation to how it is placed on a [[block]], so that it can be made to attach to any side of a block except the bottom side. | + | '''Torches''' improve on the [[Crude Torch]] by harnessing the power of [[Netherrack]] to burn forever. They can be lit to create a '''Burning Torch''' by right-clicking it in the world on [[Fire]], burning [[Campfire]]s, [[Lava]], lit [[Brick Oven]]s, smouldering [[Wood]], other Torches, [[Crude Torch]]es, and [[Candle]]s, and placed in the world to provide light in the surrounding area. |
| | | |
− | From just one block of [[wood]] and eight pieces of [[coal]] or [[charcoal]], 32 torches can be made, making them an easily obtainable item. Since the [[Adventure Update]], torches have warmer light when placed. They can also be found naturally in [[Abandoned Mine Shaft]]s, [[Stronghold]]s and [[NPC Villages]].
| + | Unlit and burning torches can be freely placed, picked up and replaced without loss, and can be attached to walls or the ground. |

| |
− | | |
− | Torches act as a full block, for the purpose of placing other objects or torches in the same area. Being treated as a block by [[sand]] and [[gravel]] this prevents them from falling down past a block with a torch on it. Instead, sand and gravel break when they fall on a torch. If they are placed directly above a torch they act as if they were on any other solid material, allowing them to be used as environmental triggers, such as [[Tutorials/Airlock|airlocks]]. To the player, torches act as non-solid blocks, allowing players to pass through torches and place them whilst clipping into the torch. Torches also melt nearby [[Snow (cover)|snow]] and [[ice]], making them useful to keep skylights from being snowed over and lakes from freezing in [[Biome|snow biomes]]. The torches will however only melt snow and ice from a radius of 2 blocks from the torch. The smoke from a torch extends up 2½ blocks.
| |
− | | |
− | When a torch is placed in [[water]], it will be detached, as if you had destroyed it. The block it was placed in will have no water in it afterward, unless two adjacent water sources cause a third to be created. This can also be used to regain air while underwater.

− | == Trivia ==
| |
− |
| |
− | * Notch announced that torches would become temporary light sources that would eventually go out.<ref>http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1243370641</ref> They would need to be relit with [[Flint and Steel|flint and steel]]. The permanent torch would be replaced with [[lantern]]s, and all torches that exist already in saved games whether placed, stored or in inventory would become lanterns. This was supposed to take effect on October, 31<sup>st</sup> 2010 with the [[Halloween Update]], but it does not appear this will be the case anymore.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/22743846228070400</ref>
| |
− | *If you jump on a placed torch, you will hear a sound of stepping on a wooden block. This is only the sound effect however, so you will not actually stand on it. You must also be moving in a horizontal direction as well, so running and jumping on them is the way to check it.
| |
− | *It would take 1.26018466 × 10{{^|14}} torches to light the entire surface of a minecraft map. It would take approximately double that number to cover everything in a minecraft map, caves and all, counting the 12 million blocks as the edge of the map.
| |
− | *If a block falls onto a torch (sand or gravel), it breaks the block and gives the player the resource, but the gravel will not drop [[flint]]. However, if the torch is placed quickly enough after removing the base of a stack of falling blocks, the stack remains in place.
| |
− | *Because torches emit a light level of 14 and hostile mobs require a light level of 7 or less to spawn, separating them by up to 12 blocks will prevent hostile mobs from spawning. Light does not travel diagonally (see: [[wikipedia:Manhattan distance|Taxicab Geometry]]), so a torch at point (0,0,0) will supply a light level of 8 to point (3,2,1).
| |
− | *Torches, interestingly, are created when the [[Ender Dragon]] is defeated.
| |
− | *Breaking a torch with any tool does not decrease its [[Item durability]].
