After crafting your candle, place it on the ground. You can place candles in groups of up to four on a single block. If you&#8217;re using it as a birthday candle, only one can be added to a cake. Craft a flint and steel, and right-click the candle. After a short time, it will light, and you can enjoy the ambient effects of its lighting. To put the candle out, use a little water, or use the flint and steel on it again to extinguish the flame. Using too much water on a candle will cause it to become too damp to light again for a short while.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Do_candles_set_fire_to_wood_\">Do candles set fire to wood?<\/h3>\n<p>Candle flame doesn&#8217;t spread, meaning you could hypothetically build a giant mansion made entirely of wood blocks, and it wouldn&#8217;t set fire to anything nearby. They don&#8217;t melt snow either, so they&#8217;re a good option for lighting an igloo or placing in snowy biomes.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how to craft, light, and dye Minecraft candles, check out our <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6526408\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">Minecraft guides hub<\/a> for more helpful tips.
