Create Permanent Soul Torches for Decoration or Navigation

Craft a Permanent Torch First

Combine a flimsy torch with magma cream to create a permanent torch that never burns out. This is your base material for soul torches.

Make Permanent Soul Torches

Take your permanent torch and combine it with soul sand or soul soil. This creates a permanent soul torch—a torch that provides light without burning out and has the distinctive blue flame of soul fire.

Use Cases

Permanent soul torches work well for:

  • Nether bases and pathways where you want reliable light
  • Decorative lighting in dark aesthetic builds
  • Navigation markers in dangerous areas where you can't afford torch burnout
  • Creating atmospheric lighting without maintenance

Placement Tips

Since these torches never burn out, you can place them liberally without worrying about replacement. They're ideal for permanent structures and long-term navigation routes where the soul fire aesthetic fits your build.
