About

Soul Torches are decorative light blocks that emit a distinctive blue flame and soul particle effects. Unlike standard torches, they provide the same light level while offering a darker, more atmospheric aesthetic suited to nether-themed builds or spooky environments.

They stack to 64 and can be placed on most solid surfaces. Use /give @p minecraft:soul_torch 1 to hand them out to players, or simply gather them by breaking existing soul torches with any tool. Their zero hardness means they break instantly and drop as items.
