"Light your night."

A basic torch is an item that when placed gives off a small light radius. It will not start a fire, even if placed directly on wood.

Appearance

A small orange-yellow flame on the stick used to craft them, except pointing upwards instead of diagonally, and is missing a branch. When placed on the side of a block, it will face the direction opposite of which side the blockhead placed it on.

Where Found

It is crafted at a campfire from one stick.

Uses

Basic torches may be used as a light source. They may be placed on the top or side of solid blocks, or on backwall. Light will travel for approximately nine blocks from a torch. However, many torches are needed for lighting up large structures such as a cave or a large building. Since torches emit only a small amount of light, a blockhead must be standing directly on it to maintain its happiness in a dark area.

Trivia

In real life, simply placing a stick onto a campfire would make a very short lived torch, as it would burn the stick faster then it could ignite, only lasting a few seconds. It is possible, however, that the blockhead kept some foliage from the source of the stick, and put it on the stick during the crafting process, which could make it burn longer.
