Flare

Flares are used as ammunition for the Flare Gun. There are two variants that work identically, but do not stack together: The Flare (red) and the Blue Flare.

Once fired, Flares emit low-level, flickering, tinted light (red or blue, depending on the type fired) that lasts for 10 minutes. They stick to the blocks they impacted and will function underwater. They can be found in natural chests and can be purchased from the Merchant once the Flare Gun has been obtained.

Flares are almost identical to Sticky Glowsticks in function, and will fall from broken blocks in the same manner, but Flares burn for 10 minutes, twice the time of a Glowstick. Being that they are fired from a gun, they also travel faster and much further than Glowsticks. Flares cannot be recovered once they have burned out.

If the Flare Gun has at least one Flare of ammunition left, the gun itself emits light when held.

Flares can be fired as weapons, but do miniscule damage. They do however set entities On Fire!.
