About
The White Candle is a decorative light source in Minecraft. It can be placed on solid surfaces and lit with a flint and steel or fire charge to emit a small amount of light. Multiple candles can be stacked in the same block space to increase brightness up to 3 candles per block.
Because candles do not stack in inventory, use the give command with a quantity of 1 per candle you want to distribute. They are useful for small ambient lighting in builds, decorative setups, and testing light mechanics on servers.
