The candle is a block that players craft by combining string with honeycomb. When broken, it drops itself, so it can be picked up and moved elsewhere. It can be lit or left unlit, and it can also be waterlogged.

Players use candles as a decorative block, and they also serve as an ingredient in 16 different recipes.
