The Minecraft torch may look unassuming, but it’s an absolute necessity if you want to be able to see in the dark or make your surroundings look a little more homely. They’re fairly easy to make once you have the items to craft them. As is common with many Minecraft items, sticks are an important part of the construction.

To make a torch, you need a stick and a piece of coal or charcoal. You don't need both. Just one of the two materials will do, along with a stick.

Finding coal is easier than wondering how to get charcoal in Minecraft. However, we have a quick overview for you on how to produce coal so that you can then craft a torch.

Use a pickaxe to search for it.
