Torches are the simplest light sources players can create. They provide light when held in the main and off hand. When placed, they last for 48 hours before turning into burnt out torches. If they are rained on, they turn into extinguished torches. These may be relit with another torch placed on a solid block (not in a torch holder), a firepit , a forge , a pit kiln , a bloomery . To do that, just click shift+ on the heat source, with the unlit torch in hand. If the player enters deep water, any torches in the main or off hand are extinguished.

Protip: When carrying torches, only hold one in your hand. If you fall in water, you only need to relight one torch!

The newly made "Extinguished" torch must be lit either on a firepit, or with another torch or firestarter; however, it takes no fuel to use a lit torch to re-light a placed extinguished torch.

Burned out torches are decorative only. They cannot be re-ignited in a firepit. They cannot be crafted in a normal survival game.

Natural Generation

Lit torches do not appear placed in any ruins, however, extinguished or burned out torches do appear as loot in collapsed chests.

Usage

They provide light when put on either off-hand or main hand. They can placed on the ground, on a wall or in a torch stand. Torches can be also used for lighting firepits or setting grass or wooden-based materials on fire. Torches can be used as a makeshift weapon (range attack : 2 m). whilst dealing poor damage they have a chance of setting the enemy on fire.

Preventing Burnout

If one wants to place torches such that they do not burn out over time, a torch holder can be constructed via brass plates or found in ruins. These torch holders, when equipped with a torch on a block, keep the torch lit indefinitely, though it may extinguish if flooded or exposed to rain.
