How to light Minecraft candles

Lighting a Minecraft candle is quite straightforward. Once you’ve crafted your candle, just place it on the ground. You can arrange up to four candles on a single block, but remember, only one candle can be placed on a cake for birthday celebrations. To light your candle, find some flint and steel, then right-click the candle. After a brief moment, it will ignite, casting a warm glow. To put it out, use a small amount of water or extinguish it by using the flint and steel again. Be careful not to drench the candle as it might become too wet to re-light for a short period.
