Obtaining[edit]
Like normal torches, an underwater torch breaks instantly and drops itself when broken using anything. The tool does not take any damage when breaking the underwater torch.
Underwater torches are also broken if pushed by a piston.
Crafting[edit]
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|
| Magnesium + Torch |
Usage[edit]
Underwater torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some require sneaking (see placement for exceptions). Being non-solid, underwater torches have no collision box.
Gravity affected blocks like sand and gravel does not fall if the block below them has an underwater torch on it, and break if they fall onto an underwater torch.
