About
The Black Candle is a light-emitting decorative block available in Minecraft. It cannot be stacked, so each candle occupies its own inventory slot when collected.
Use the give command to spawn black candles directly into a player's inventory. Multiple candles can be placed on the same block to increase light output and create ambient lighting effects for builds.
