Cake with Light Gray Candle

Overview

Cake with Light Gray Candle is one of the 17 variants of Cake with Candle: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the Cake with Candle page.

Minecraft classifies Cake with Light Gray Candle as a building block. It cannot be obtained in Survival — it exists for Creative mode and commands. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.

No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Light Gray Candle. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance).

No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
