Soul Torch block in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Stack size: 64

A Soul Torch burns with a cold blue flame, dimmer than a torch, and scares piglins away.

It is made with the Crafting Table from Stick, Soul Sand or Soul Soil and Coal. It gives off light level 10.

What it does

Add a block of Soul Sand or Soul Soil under the coal and stick to craft four. Its light level is 10 and it does not melt snow or ice, which suits frozen builds. Piglins keep their distance from it, handy around a Nether base.
