Crafting a torch in Minecraft is a fundamental skill that provides illumination and warmth during nighttime or in dark environments. Constructed using a stick and a coal or charcoal, torches can be easily crafted in a crafting table or furnace.
Beyond their primary function of lighting up spaces, torches serve various purposes in the game. They can be used to deter hostile mobs that spawn in darkness, such as zombies, skeletons, and creepers. Torches also facilitate exploration by illuminating caves, abandoned mineshafts, and other dimly lit areas, revealing hidden paths and resources.
