How to craft and use copper torch in Minecraft

Mojang recently released a new copper torch block for Minecraft snapshot 25w32a. It will soon be officially released with a game drop, possibly arriving in the fall. Copper torch is almost the same as a regular torch, but with a unique twist to it, including its crafting recipe.

Here is a short guide on crafting and using the new copper torch in Minecraft.

First, gather simple resources to craft a copper torch. Torches have always been one of the simplest items to craft in Minecraft. The same goes for copper torches. The only extra item you will need is copper.

Hence, collect sticks by chopping trees and crafting planks. Then, mine coal using a pickaxe. Finally, get a stone pickaxe to get copper ore to get raw copper. After smelting raw copper, you'll get a copper ingot, which can then be crafted copper nugget.

2) Crafting recipe for copper torch

Once you get all the resources, craft the copper torch. Place a copper nugget on the top, then coal in the middle, and a stick at the bottom. This will make four copper torches.

The only difference between crafting recipes of torches and copper torches is that the latter will require a crafting table. This is because the copper nugget has to be placed on top of both coal and stick, which cannot be done in a regular inventory crafting area.

3) Appearance and use of copper torches

As per Mojang, copper torches are identical to regular torches when it comes to their illumination. Both torches can emit a light level of 14. This means that copper torches can be used to light up an area just like a regular torch.

In terms of appearance, however, copper torches are slightly different. Since the new block is made up of copper, it will have green textures and particles at its tip. Hence, the only difference between the regular and copper torch is the color.
