The Soul Torch is a light-emitting block found in the game Minecraft. It is primarily used for lighting up areas and can be placed on the ground or on walls. The Soul Torch emits a dimmer light compared to regular torches, making it useful for creating a spooky atmosphere. Crafting a Soul Torch requires a stick and a piece of Soul Soil or Soul Sand. When lit, it has a blue flame, which distinguishes it from other light sources in the game. Soul Torches are also effective in preventing the spawning of certain hostile mobs, adding a strategic element to gameplay.
