What is Purple Candle in Minecraft?
A purple candle is a small, decorative light source with a rich, royal purple color. It looks like a simple wax candle that you can place in your world. The main purpose of a purple candle is to provide a small amount of light and a lot of atmosphere. A single candle gives off very little light, but you can place up to four candles on a single block to make the light brighter. Players use candles to add a cozy, rustic, or magical feel to their builds. The purple candle, with its royal color, is great for birthday cakes, magical altars, or just adding a bit of color to a room. Unlike torches, candles have a more subtle and realistic look.
How to get Purple Candle in Minecraft
The only way to get a purple candle is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is very simple. You will need one regular candle and one piece of purple dye. To get a regular candle, you need to craft one string and one honeycomb together. You can get string by killing spiders or breaking cobwebs. You can get honeycomb by using shears on a beehive or bee nest that is full of honey. To get purple dye, you can combine red and blue dyes. Once you have your regular candle and your purple dye, simply place both of them anywhere in a crafting grid. This will give you one purple candle.

You can place up to four candles on the same block. Each candle you add increases the light level. To put out a candle, you can simply right click on it or use water on it.
