Copper torches are set to illuminate your Minecraft base in the much-anticipated Fall update. If you’re eager for something fresh beyond the usual regular and soul torches, the unique greenish flames of copper torches will certainly catch your eye. Crafting these beauties is surprisingly simple. Even though they’re not yet available in the main game, this guide will show you how to make a copper torch as soon as you get your hands on them.
Items Required to Make Copper Torch in Minecraft
Creating copper torches requires just a few materials that are easy to find in the overworld. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 Copper Nugget
- 1 Charcoal or Coal
- 1 Stick
Copper nuggets are crafted from copper ingots, with each ingot yielding 9 nuggets. You can also smelt copper tools to obtain some nuggets. For coal, mine coal ores, or for charcoal, incinerate wood in a furnace. Sticks can be made from two wooden planks of any type. Once you have everything, get a crafting table ready to bring your torch to life.
How to Make Copper Torch in Minecraft
With your materials at hand, follow these steps to craft your copper torch:
- Right-click on a crafting table to open the crafting grid.
- Place the copper nugget in the center of the top row.
- Put a coal or charcoal directly below the nugget, followed by a stick beneath it, aligning them all.
- This arrangement will produce four copper torches in the result cell.
- Drag them into your inventory for future use.
All Uses of Copper Torch in Minecraft
1. Light and Heat Source
It’s no secret that torches are essential in Minecraft, and copper torches are no exception. They provide a light level of 14, making them perfect for lighting up your base and preventing mob spawns nearby.
Moreover, placing copper torches can help you melt snow and ice. A copper torch can melt snow within a radius of 2 blocks and ice within 3 blocks—extremely handy if you’re in a snowy biome!
2. Making Copper Lanterns
Another incredible use for copper torches is in creating copper lanterns. To craft a lantern, you will need 8 copper nuggets and a single copper torch. Lanterns shine even brighter, emitting a light level of 15, and they can be placed on blocks or hung from ceilings for stunning visual effects.
You might wonder if copper torches will develop oxidative variations like other copper items. Fortunately, the answer is no. Since only a single nugget is involved in altering the flame, they won’t produce any oxidation states like the shiny new copper tools.
