Torches

A Torch is a piece of Furniture that produces light. They can be carried by the player when equipped and can also be placed on most solid surfaces (but not on the bottom of a block). Torches can also be dropped, to provide a mobile light source as it falls. Torches are doused and can be knocked loose from where they have been placed by running water. A torch can be right-clicked for retrieval, and a torch will drop from its position if there is no connecting block to support it. If a torch has blocks on two or more sides, it will attach to another block when the one it is attached to is removed. Torches will prefer to attach to blocks beneath them, then to their left, then to their right.

As of 1.0.5, Torches no longer function under water: a Torch thrown into water will not emit light once it submerges, and if a player enters water - even shallow water - with a Torch selected in the Hotbar, the torch will disappear and emit no light. This problem is meant to be solved with the new Glowsticks.

Torches don't need a workbench to be crafted, and if you're out of Wood or Gel, you can buy them from the Merchant for 50 copper each.
