Overview
Candle is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Candle has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. With a hardness of 0.1 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
With a blast resistance of only 0.1 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for String and Honeycomb.
It is an ingredient in 16 recipes, among them Black Candle, Blue Candle, Brown Candle and 13 more.
