What is Soul Torch in Minecraft?
A soul torch is a special variant of the torch that burns with a spooky, blue soul fire. It looks like a regular torch, but with a blue flame instead of an orange one. Its main purpose is to be a decorative light source. It produces a slightly dimmer light than a regular torch, but its unique, magical color makes it a favorite for builders. A very special property of the soul torch is that its blue light will scare away piglins, making it a useful tool for keeping them at a distance in the Nether. It is a beautiful and functional block for adding a touch of spooky elegance to any build.
How to get Soul Torch in Minecraft
The only way to get a soul torch is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is very similar to a regular torch, but with an extra ingredient. You will need one stick, one piece of coal or charcoal, and one block of either soul sand or soul soil. You can get sticks from trees, coal from mining, and soul sand or soul soil from the soul sand valley biome in the Nether. Once you have your materials, open a crafting table. Place the soul sand or soul soil in the bottom slot, the stick in the middle, and the coal or charcoal on top. This will give you four soul torches.
How to use Soul Torch in Minecraft
A soul torch has several great uses. Its main use is as a decorative light source. The beautiful blue flame is perfect for creating a spooky or magical atmosphere in your builds. It provides a light level of 10, which is enough to prevent most mobs from spawning. A very important use for the soul torch is that its blue light repels piglins. You can place them around your Nether base to create a safe zone where piglins will not bother you. This is a great way to light up your base and keep it safe at the same time. You can also use a soul torch to craft a soul lantern, which is a more elegant, placeable version of this blue light source.
