The [[tool]] does not take any [[durability]] damage. Colored torches are also broken if pushed by a [[piston]]. === Crafting === {{Crafting |showdescription=1 |B2=Cerium Chloride; Mercuric Chloride; Potassium Chloride; Tungsten Chloride |B3=Torch |Output=Blue Torch; Red Torch; Purple Torch; Green Torch |description= Cerium Chloride: Blue

{{only|bedrock|education}} |type=Decoration block }} == Usage == Torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some require {{control|sneaking}} (see [[#Placement|placement]] for exceptions). Being non-solid, torches have no collision box. Gravity-affected blocks like [[sand]] and [[gravel]] do not fall if the block below them has a torch on it and break when falling onto a torch. === Light === Torches emit a [[light]] level of 14. Torches also melt [[snow layer]]s within 2 blocks and [[ice]] within 3 blocks ([[taxicab distance]]). Colored torches emit normal light, not colored light, and therefore the coloring is purely aesthetic. === Placement === In general, torches can be placed only on solid, opaque, full blocks; exceptions are listed below. {| class="wikitable" data-description="Torch placeability" !
