Overview
Torch counts as a light-emitting block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Torch is made at a crafting table. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It glows at light level 14, which is full-strength lighting for mob-proofing.
It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The recipe calls for Coal and Stick. It is used to craft Jack o'Lantern and Lantern.
