Torch

Torches are blocks in Minecraft created from a Stick and Coal or Charcoal. Torches are one of 4 blocks in Minecraft that emit light, the others being Glowstone, Redstone Lamps and Sea Lanterns. When placed on a solid surface it can adjust it's position depending on how it is placed. For example if placed on a wall, it will orient to a diagonal position as if it's hanging of the wall. Torches can also be found naturally in Strongholds, Abandoned Mine Shafts and '''NPC Villages. '''

When a Torch is placed in Water, it will automatically dislodge as it you broke it. The block that you placed the torch will no longer contain water, unless two water sources either side of it create a third.

Torches are also used in the making of Jack o' Lanterns.
