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 lighting the end of a stick with a campfire would make a very short-lived torch, as it would quickly burn down the stick. Real torches put more combustible materials such as tar or oil-soaked fabric on one end and use a stick or similar object as a handle.
