Description
A blue candle is a small decorative light source that you place on top of solid surfaces to give a soft coloured glow. Candles are a compact alternative to torches and they fit nicely on shelves tables and behind bars where a torch would look out of place. The blue candle gives a cool calming light that suits bedrooms shops and magical themed rooms and it is often used to set the mood in libraries theatres and private chambers. Players can light candles with a flint and steel or a fire charge and put them out by interacting with them which makes them handy for role play and for staged displays in builds. Because candles are small they take minimal space and they are great for crowded market stalls and for detailed interiors where lighting needs to be subtle. In survival mode candles require materials like string wax and dye depending on server rules which means you will often craft a supply near your base for decorative projects. For map makers and server builders blue candles are a quick way to add atmosphere to a scene without adding heavy wiring or redstone.
