The Soul Wall Torch is the wall-mounted variant of the Soul Torch, attached to the side of a block instead of standing on top of one. It emits the same teal light level of 10 and drops a regular Soul Torch item when broken. It is placed by aiming a soul torch at a block's side.

Uses

  • Wall Lighting — Mounts on the side of blocks to light corridors and walls with a teal glow where a floor-standing torch would get in the way.
  • Piglin Repellent — Like the standing soul torch, it repels regular piglins (but not piglin brutes), useful for lighting Nether passages safely.

Found In

  • Placed Against Walls — Created whenever a soul torch is placed on the side of a solid block.
  • Ancient Cities — The soul torch item it drops generates in ancient city chests in the deep dark.

Drops

FAQ

What does a Soul Wall Torch drop?

It drops a regular Soul Torch item — the same item as the floor-standing variant.

How is a Soul Wall Torch created?

It is not crafted separately; it forms automatically when you place a soul torch against the side of a block.

Does the wall variant emit the same light?

Yes. It emits light level 10, identical to the standing soul torch, which is too dim to melt snow or ice.

Does it repel piglins?

Yes. Soul wall torches repel regular piglins but have no effect on piglin brutes.
