Overview
Minecraft classifies Redstone Wall Torch as a light-emitting block. It cannot be obtained in Survival — it exists for Creative mode and commands. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Instead of dropping itself it yields Redstone Torch. It glows faintly at light level 7.
It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
Properties
Redstone Wall Torch resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits at level 7. Broken normally it drops Redstone Torch rather than itself; Silk Touch is what returns the block, and Fortune raises the ordinary drop instead.
