Overview
Light Gray Candle is one of the 17 variants of Candle: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the Candle page.
Light Gray Candle counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Light Gray Candle. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.1.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.1 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Candle and Light Gray Dye.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
