That said, they are just as capable as spreading fire to other flammable material so keep planks and anything else vulnerable to combustion away.Īnd that’s it! That’s all there is to it when it comes to crafting and using the new Soul Fire lighting equipment. Plus, Soul Soil blocks never go out! Making them excellent ever-burning light sources. Thus, anyone looking to illuminate an igloo base or other construction made of ice or snow can safely brighten the place up with a few creepy soul torches. Unlike anything having to do with normal fire, they do not melt snow or ice blocks in their vicinity. This is probably the more universally useful aspect of Soul Torches and Soul Lanterns. Any of the Soul Fire instruments will keep them at a distance of at least seven blocks, making it useful for crowd-control and even, in case you accidentally aggroed a few too many piglins, a way to cover your retreat. Yes! Soul Fire, along with Soul Torches and Soul Lanterns send the piglins scattering like the big bad wolf just showed up with an apron and a pig-sized cookpot. But, the thing is, all of the Soul Fire-powered instruments (including Soul Fire itself) have two key differences that really make them shine: Soul Fire scares away Piglins
SOUL LANTERN MINECRAFT SERIES
Okay… but seriously, how are any of these useful?Īt first glance, it might be hard to argue for the utility of a series of new lighting implements that are simultaneously dimmer yet more expensive than their traditional counterparts. Open up the crafting grid, plop a soul torch in the middle, surround it with iron ingots, and Voilah! You have a creepy and comparatively dim Soul Lantern. This means crafting yourself a Soul Lantern will set you back a single Soul Torch and 8 iron ingots. Soul Lanterns are, as expected, crafted the way one would craft a normal lantern but in place of a torch at the center is a humble Soul Torch. Otherwise, they operate and behave exactly the same as a normal lantern. One thing to note is that the reduction in luminosity from a normal lantern to a Soul Lantern is much more significant than that of the other two, with Soul Lanterns dropping down to a light level of 10 as opposed to a normal lantern’s 15. Soul Lanterns are to normal Lanterns what Soul Fire and Soul Torches are to their warmer-colored counterparts.

You need only the usual torch ingredients plus some soul soil or soul sand. The Soul Torch Recipe is pretty much a no-brainer.

Soul Torches are simply a variant of traditional torches in the same way Soul Fire is of normal fire.

Indeed, Soul Fire is like a creepy Olympic flame and even has a few other functional uses we’ll get into with Soul Torches and Soul Lanterns. Aside from looking awesome, one of the interesting features of Soul Fire is that, like a regular fire atop a netherrack block, it never goes out.

Soul fire is a variant of fire that emerges when setting the new Soul Soil blocks alight.
