Overview
Minecraft classifies Soul Fire as a Nether 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. It gives off a dim light level 10, enough to see by but not to stop mobs spawning. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
Properties
Soul Fire resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits at level 10.
