Torch
minecraft:torchTorches are non-solid blocks that emit a light level of 14, making them one of the most common ways to illuminate builds, caves, and mines. They are crafted from a single coal or charcoal combined with a stick, yielding four torches per craft. Placed light sources like torches also prevent hostile mobs from spawning in the lit area.
