Light in the dark: With a torch, you're good to go at night and underground in Minecraft.

There are almost countless possibilities in Minecraft. Basic things like the torch are especially important.

Minecraft: How to build torches

The torch is a basic tool and can be made quickly:

1. Collect 1x coal and 1x wooden stick. You can get coal in various ways, such as by directly mining an ore deposit. For this you will need a pickaxe. Wooden sticks you create from wooden blocks, which you in turn get from trees.
2. Then put the wooden stick in the lower middle slot of the construction menu. The coal comes directly into the slot above, so in the very middle of the menu.
3. As a result, you get four torches.

If you can not find coal, you can also make it yourself in the furnace. By the way, torches not only improve visibility in the dark, but also have a strategic effect: in well-lit places at night, namely, no hostile creatures can appear. Therefore, it is worth equipping your base with torches on the outside. Ebenfalls praktisch: Tief unterirdisch oder in langen Tunneln können Fackeln den Rückweg markieren.
