What Is Brown Candle in Minecraft?

A Brown Candle is a small decorative candle that gives off a warm glow when lit. You can place up to four candles in the same block space to increase the light level.

How Does Brown Candle Work?

  • Place up to 4 candles in the same block to increase brightness. One candle gives light level 3, four give light level 12.
  • Light it with a Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge.
  • Put it out by right-clicking it or splashing water on it.
  • Placing a candle on an unlit cake creates a Candle Cake - right-click to light it.
  • Any tool or your hand breaks it, and it always drops itself.
