You want apples? You want carrots? You want pineapples? We got torches.

Torches can be picked up by pressing the ⚷ Open / Activate key and light up the region around the player when held.
Torches held by the player will be put out upon entering water, even if the water is waist level and would not reach it.

Torches are furniture items that produce light when placed, held, or dropped (via the Throw key), and are crucial at all stages of gameplay as primary light sources. Torches provide light permanently, and are never extinguished. Regular Torches can be found randomly in Chests and Pots, as a bonus drop from slimes, or purchased from the Merchant or Skeleton Merchant for 50 CC each.

Torches can be placed on the sides or tops of most blocks, on background walls, and on the sides of trees and beams and columns. They can also be placed on any type of platform. A placed Torch can be retrieved by pressing the ⚷ Open / Activate key on it or by freeing it with a pickaxe, drill, or explosives. When the block a Torch is attached to is broken, the Torch will attach itself to any other block or wall directly adjacent to it. If all adjacent blocks surrounding a Torch are removed (left, right, and bottom) and no wall exists behind it, it drops like any other item.

With a few exceptions,[a] Torches do not function under water. A Torch thrown into water will not emit light once it submerges, and if a player enters water with a Torch selected in the hotbar, the Torch will not be visible and will emit no light. Placed Torches are freed when water touches them, and drop as items.

Torches are also mechanisms that can be toggled on and off via Wire.

Placing at least 101 Torches in close proximity below the surface layer in any biome will start the Torch God mini-event. Completing the event will grant the Torch God's Favor, which allows the player to automatically convert ordinary Torches to one of the biome types.

Notes

Placed Torches (in their on and off states, if applicable). Click/tap to view a summary of each row.
Light range and color of the Torches with "Color" lighting mode. From top to bottom:
  • Torch (regular)
  • Orange
  • Red
  • Purple
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Yellow
  • White
  • Ice
  • Ultrabright
  • Demon
  • Cursed
  • Ichor
  • Holding the Auto Select key with the cursor over empty space will automatically prepare the Torches in the player's inventory, allowing for quick placement or easy access to light.
  • White Torches appear to produce the most light of any light source in the game.
  • Torches provide more light when placed than they do when held or dropped, with the exception of the Ultrabright Torch.
  • Torches are the only item where it is possible to throw (via the Throw key) just one of the item. For all other items, the entire stack gets thrown.
  • Throwing a Torch will cause it to only go a few tiles forwards before falling straight down. For a light source that can be tossed farther, Glowsticks or Flares should be used (though note that Glowsticks are thrown by selecting them and then pressing the ⚒ Use / Attack button, not by pressing Throw).
  • Despite appearing dim, Blue Torches can reach a respectable distance with the "Trippy" lighting mode selected, which is extended even farther under the effects of a Night Owl Potion.
  • While in Smart Cursor mode, the player can only place Torches in dark places.

Trivia

  • Orange Torches were apparently added because of a "really persistent nagging brit" in reference to the YouTuber ChippyGaming (James Bennett).[4]
  • Torch flame animations continue to play while the game is paused.
  • If a block is placed above a Torch, the Torch will lower. If there is no block above it, the Torch gets higher. This can be seen best using a Trap Door and opening/closing it.
  • The Torch is the most used crafting ingredient, with 232 recipes needing it, followed by Wood that is needed in 130 recipes.
  • In Constant worlds, Torches and Campfires exposed to the sky will "turn off" during Rain.

History

  • Desktop 1.2.3:
    • Added Ultrabright Torches.
    • Fixed exploit where throwing Torches would activate hotbar items without costs.
    • Fixed issue where Ice Torch would not emit light when thrown on the ground.

  • Desktop 1.2:
    • Torches are now animated.
