To make a Soul Torch in Minecraft, you need to combine specific ingredients on a crafting table. This special torch emits a lower light level than a regular torch and has unique properties, like deterring certain mobs.
Here's a breakdown of the required materials and the simple crafting process.
Required Materials for Crafting a Soul Torch
Crafting a Soul Torch requires three main components. Gather these items before heading to your crafting table:
- 1 Stick: Sticks are a basic crafting component, often made from wood planks.
- 1 Charcoal or 1 Coal: You can use either a piece of Coal (mined from ore) or Charcoal (smelted from wood logs). These provide the fuel for the torch.
- 1 Soul Soil or 1 Soul Sand: These blocks are typically found in the Nether dimension, particularly in Soul Sand Valleys. You can use either Soul Sand or Soul Soil.
Crafting the Soul Torch
Once you have the necessary items, open your crafting table. The arrangement of the items in the 3x3 grid is important for successful crafting.
Place the ingredients in the following pattern:
- Place the Charcoal or Coal in the top middle square.
- Place the Stick in the middle middle square (directly below the fuel).
- Place the Soul Soil or Soul Sand in the bottom middle square (directly below the stick).
Here is a visual representation of the crafting recipe:
| Item | ||
|---|---|---|
| Charcoal or Coal | ||

After placing the items correctly, the Soul Torch will appear in the output slot of the crafting table.
Final Step: Move the Soul Torches to Inventory
Once the Soul Torch is crafted, it will appear in the result slot of the crafting interface. Simply click on the crafted Soul Torch and drag it into your inventory to complete the process. You can then place it in the game world like a regular torch.
