Ever wondered how to light up your Minecraft world? Whether you’re building a spooky dungeon or a cozy cottage, knowing how to make lights is key to bringing your creations to life.
So, how exactly do you make lights in Minecraft? Let’s dive in and shed some light on this topic!
Simple Steps to Create Lights in Minecraft
Making lights in Minecraft isn’t just about keeping the darkness at bay; it’s also about adding atmosphere and depth to your builds. The most common way to create light is by crafting torches. To make a torch, you’ll need sticks and coal or charcoal. Just place a stick in the bottom center of the crafting grid and coal or charcoal directly above it, and voilà – you have a torch!
But torches aren’t your only option. For those looking to add a bit of elegance to their creations, lanterns are a fantastic choice. Crafting a lantern requires a torch surrounded by eight iron nuggets in the crafting grid. Lanterns not only provide light but also add a decorative touch to any space.
