Green Torch

What is a Green Torch?

A Green Torch is a decorative and functional light source exclusive to Minecraft Education Edition and Bedrock Edition with Education features enabled. Unlike a regular Torch, the Green Torch emits a green-colored light, making it useful for spooky builds, sci-fi environments, and chemistry experiments.

This torch is part of Minecraft’s Chemistry system and cannot be crafted in Survival Mode without enabling Education features.

Where Can Green Torches Be Found?

Green Torches do not generate naturally and must be crafted using Minecraft’s Chemistry system. To craft one, players need:

1. Boron Chloride – Obtained from the Element Constructor or Material Reducer.

2. Standard Torch – Crafted from one Stick and one Coal or Charcoal.

When combined in the Lab Table, these materials produce a Green Torch.

What Can Players Do with a Green Torch?

The Green Torch is mainly decorative, but it has several creative uses, including:

• Spooky and toxic-themed builds, where the green flame creates an eerie or hazardous atmosphere.

• Sci-fi and alien bases, giving a high-tech or extraterrestrial aesthetic.

• Laboratories and secret lairs, as the green glow fits experimental settings.

• Educational chemistry experiments, where students learn about chemical reactions and luminescence.

Unlike Soul Torches, which also emit colored light, Green Torches are exclusive to Minecraft’s Chemistry system and do not deter Piglins.

The History of Green Torches in Minecraft

Green Torches were introduced in Minecraft Education Edition’s Chemistry Update, allowing players to experiment with real-world chemical compounds. They are exclusive to Education Edition and Bedrock Edition with Education features enabled, meaning they cannot be crafted in standard Survival Mode.

Interesting Fact or Real-Life Connection

Green Torches mimic real-life chemical reactions where certain elements, such as boron, produce green flames. In fireworks, laboratory experiments, and pyrotechnics, chemical compounds create different flame colors, making this a fun way to explore chemistry in Minecraft!
