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 3 days before turning into burnt out torches. If they are rained on, they turn into extinguished torches. These may be re-lit with a torch, or cooked in a firepit. 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!

Torch (Extinguished)







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.

Burnt out torches can technically be re-lit in a firepit, however, they cannot be obtained in normal survival gameplay.

Natural Generation

Torches do not appear placed in any ruins, however, extinguished torches do appear as loot in collapsed chests.

Usage

They provide light when put on either off-hand or main hand. They can placed in the ground, the wall or in the torch stand. Torches can be also used for lighting firepit, extinguished torches or setting grass or wooden-based materials on fire. Torches can be used as a makeshift weapon, whilst dealing poor damage has a chance of setting the enemy on fire.
