Here in Vintage Story, the nights and caves can be quite dark and scary. Players may want more light than the environment provides. Many of these options can be held in the hand to provide dynamic lighting and will illuminate the area as players walk around. Here are some options to help:

==Firepit==

Here in Vintage Story, the nights and caves can be quite dark and scary. Players may want more light than the environment provides. Many of these options can be held in the hand to provide dynamic '''lighting''' and will illuminate the area as players walk around.  
The [[firepit]] provides light as long as it has fuel.


==Torches==
</translate>
[[file:Heat Torch.png]]
__TOC__
Torches are the simplest light source to make. They are crafted by cooking sticks in a [[Firepit|firepit]]. Torches last forever when carried in player inventory or stored in a container, but burn out after 3 days when placed onto a block.
<translate>


==Torch Holder==
==Table of Light Sources== <!--T:9-->
[[file:Grid Brass torch holder.png]]
Will prevent torches from burning out when placed onto a block. Metal torch holders can be found in [[Ruins|ruins]], and Brass torch holders can be crafted using two plates in the crafting grid.


==Oil Lamp==
<!--T:10-->
[[file:Grid Oil Lamp.png]]
The table below includes all light sources (craftable and lootable).
Oil lamps are fairly easy to craft in early game. Oil lamps are made by combining a lump of fat and a burned bowl in the crafting grid. They don't provide much light when compared to other light sources, but don't burn out when placed on a block.


==Candles==
</translate>
[[file:Grid Candle.png]]
Candles, made from wax (see [[beekeeping]]) can be a good permanent light source. Multiple candles can be placed in a block, which increases the light output of that block.
 
==Lanterns==
[[file:Grid Lantern.png]]
Lanterns provide the highest illumination, but are expensive to create. Lanterns are crafted using a candle, metal plate and glass slabs or clear quartz nuggets in the crafting grid. Light levels produced by lanterns increase when a lantern is crafted with a gold or silver lining.

The table below includes all light sources (craftable and lootable). This is a work in progress.

=== Firepit === <!--T:2-->
 
<!--T:40-->
[[File:Firepit lit.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:41-->
The {{ll|firepit|firepit}} provides light as long as it has fuel.
{{Clear}}
 
=== Torches === <!--T:3-->
 
<!--T:42-->
[[File:Torch.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:43-->
{{ll|Torch|Torches}} are the simplest light source to make. They are crafted by adding sticks and two dry grass together in the grid, then lighting the result up on another torch, firepit or firelighter. Torches last forever when carried in player inventory or stored in a container, but burn out after 48 hours when placed onto a block. They will extinguish if actively held on the hotbar or offhand slot while submerged in water, or if the item is directly thrown into water.

=== Torch Holder === <!--T:4-->
 
<!--T:44-->
[[File:Torchholder-brass.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:45-->
Will prevent torches from burning out when placed onto a block. Metal torch holders can be found in {{ll|ruin|ruins}}, and Brass torch holders can be crafted using two plates in the crafting grid.

=== Oil Lamp === <!--T:5-->
 
<!--T:46-->
[[File:oillamp.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:47-->
Oil lamps are fairly easy to craft in early game and won't be extinguished by water when actively held in the hotbar or offhand slot, unlike torches. Oil lamps are made by combining a lump of fat and a fired bowl in the crafting grid. They don't provide much light when compared to other light sources, but don't burn out after a period of time when placed on a block like torches.
{{Clear}}
 
=== Candles === <!--T:6-->
 
<!--T:48-->
[[File:Grid Candle.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:49-->
Candles, made from wax (see {{ll|beekeeping|beekeeping}}) or obtained from {{ll|panning|panning}} {{ll|bony soil|bony soil}} can be a good permanent light source. Multiple candles can be placed in a block, which increases the light output of that block. Like oil lamps, they won't be extinguished by water when held in either hand.
{{Clear}}
 
=== Lanterns === <!--T:7-->
 
<!--T:50-->
[[File:Grid Lantern.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:51-->
{{ll|Glass#Lanterns|Lanterns}} provide the highest craftable illumination, but are expensive to create. Lanterns are crafted using a candle, metal plate and glass slabs or clear quartz nuggets in the crafting grid. The best light source players can craft are {{ll|Glass#Lined_Lantern|lined lanterns}}, which require gold or silver. You can change the color of the light by right-clicking on a placed lantern with a colored glass (in this process, you get the previous glass back). Like oil lamps, they won't be extinguished by water when held in either hand.
{{Clear}}
 
=== Chandelier === <!--T:12-->
 
<!--T:52-->
[[File:Chandelier.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:53-->
Chandeliers can only be found in ruins or acquired from traders, they cannot be crafted by the player. They need to be equipped with up to 8 candles, and can at the moment reach a maximum light level that is 22.
{{Clear}}
 
=== Paper lantern (Creative only)=== <!--T:14-->
 
<!--T:54-->
[[File:Paperlantern-on.png|100px|left]]
 
<!--T:55-->
Paper lanterns are only available in the Creative mode. Their light level is 21.
