Torch
A Torch can be lit to create a small amount of light. It can be carried while lit, and produces light around the carrier even while it is not the active item. It will eventually burn out, turning into an Ash Lump.
Obtaining
A torch can be crafted by placing a Charcoal Lump on top of a Staff.
Usage
A torch can be lit by placing it in the world and pummel it with a Stick, Staff, or another torch, similar to starting a fire by rubbing sticks together. The secondary stick, staff, or torch will be consumed in the process.
A torch can also be lit by placing it next to Fire or another lit torch.
Torches create a very small amount of light, which is inconvenient for exploration. However, torches are a very reliable fire starter, and can be used to set fire to adjacent Charcoal, Planks, or other flammable blocks.
