How to make a Candle in Minecraft

Candles are some of the prettiest items in Minecraft. However, many players may be confused as to how they can craft a candle in the game due to its fairly recent addition to Minecraft. Here’s a guide on how to make candles in Minecraft.

Minecraft candles are a great light source as well as a beautiful item to have in your house or base. They make the place feel homely and give off a warm glow of light when burned. One of the best things about the candle block is that it can be dyed, thereby allowing you to have light in different colors.

While not the brightest light source in the game, candles can be used as blocks together in a group of four. These groups of candles together have a light of level 12, the highest in the game. So since they’re so useful and pretty to look at, here’s how you can make a candle in Minecraft.

Steps to craft a Candle in Minecraft

You need a piece of String and a Honeycomb to make a Candle in Minecraft. You can get String as drops from spiders, mining cobwebs, as a fishing reward, or as a gift from a cat. Honeycombs, on the other hand, can be obtained from a beehive. You’ll also require a crafting table for the process.
