Purple Candle
minecraft:purple_candlePurple candle is a dyeable light-emitting block, crafted from a plain candle (string and honeycomb) combined with purple dye. Up to four can occupy one block space, each adding a light level of 3, and it can also top an uneaten cake as a decorative candle cake.
FAQ
Can I change a purple candle back to another color?
No, once a candle is dyed it cannot be recolored and must be crafted again from scratch.
How do I light a purple candle?
Use flint and steel, a fire charge, or a flaming projectile; water instantly extinguishes a lit candle.
Do four purple candles give enough light to stop mob spawning?
Yes, four lit candles in one block emit light level 12, the same threshold as a torch, which prevents hostile mob spawns.
Can I place a purple candle on a cake?
Yes, a single candle of any color can top an uneaten cake to form a candle cake, and it drops if the cake is eaten or destroyed.
