Candles are a new light source added to minecraft caves and cliffs updates. Looking back at minecraft's few light sources in the early years, living by sunlight, moonlight, lava, and torches, it is emotional. So for the brand new light source "candle", let's talk about 16 things you may not know!
1, history: In 500 BC, the ancients immersed the thread in animal fat and then cooled it to make a candle, in addition to yak butter, blubber, cinnamon and so on. There is even a type of fish called "wax fish" because of its high body fat content, as long as it is dried, it can be lit as a candle.
2, natural generation: although the candle was added to "Minecraft" in 1.17 and 1.18, the candle itself is to be added to the DeepDark group system, because the group system continues to jump tickets, so the candle will only naturally generate in the dark ancient city of Ancient City at 1.19. In the future, it will also become one of the spoils of the dark ancient city.
3. Synthesis: The candle is synthesized by the "line + honey spleen" formula, the line is used as the candle wick, and the honey spleen is used as wax. Interestingly, this synthetic recipe should have been added at 1.15.
4, lighting: the light of a single candle is 3, a square can be placed in 4 candles, the material and characteristics are similar to sea kimchi. 4 candles increase the illumination to 12.
5, dyeing: any kind of dye can be in "Minecraft" and candle synthesis into a new candle, this is only the color of the candle is different, the color of the flame and other characteristics are not different.
6, flint, flame bomb: This is the two most commonly used candle lighting methods in Minecraft, of course, the cost of flame bombs may be a little high.
7, flame attached: Bedrock Edition Minecraft with flame attached enchanted books, swords, etc. to ignite campfires is no longer a cold knowledge, the same reason they are also suitable for candles.
8, burning arrows: use the bow to pass the "arrow" through the flame can make the arrow become a "burning arrow", whether it is JAVA Edition or Bedrock Edition can use the burning arrow to light the extinguished candle.
9. Burning Entities: In Bedrock Edition, burning zombies, burning skeletons, and burning players can be lit while passing through candles.
10. Extinguish: The candle cannot be extinguished naturally, and the candle can be extinguished with the right mouse button. At the same time, you can also throw a splash or a lingering water bottle on the candle and extinguish it.
11, water can not extinguish the candle: say do you believe, whether it is the flow of water or pouring a bucket of water above the candle, can not extinguish the burning candle, but will be the candle alone to empty a square.
12, the water-containing candle will be extinguished: the candle itself can contain water, but the water source is not contained in the water flow. Therefore, the water must be poured into the same block where the candle is located before it can be extinguished.
13, light the underwater candle: you can modify the NBT way to make the candle underwater to be lit, the instruction: /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft: candle [lit=true, waterlogged=true].
14, birthday cake; candles can be inserted on the cake, but only one candle can be inserted. The cake that is eaten cannot be lit, and the cake with the candle inserted will be directly dropped when eaten.
15. Burned-out torch: This is the prototype design of the candle, and the ability to be extinguished is derived from the "burned-out torch" in an April Fool's Day version of Java Edition 2.0, the torch will be automatically extinguished and can be re-ignited with a flint stone. Of course, it is impossible to use candles to drip wax oil, because in a sense, candles and torches belong to the same endless light source.
16, you found no, these years "Minecraft" from the 1.13 ocean update, almost a version will add a lighting block, tidal core, sea kimchi, campfire, lantern, soul series, fungal light body, candle, frog lamp and so on.
According to this idea of development, the future mc may not lack the most is the "lighting block"...
