Cake with Green Candle

What is a Cake with Green Candle?

A Cake with Green Candle is a decorative and interactive block in Minecraft, created by placing a Green Candle on top of a Cake. This combination allows players to light the candle for celebrations, forest-themed parties, or mystical decorations. When the Cake is eaten, the Candle remains, making it a great addition to nature builds, druidic altars, and fantasy-themed feasts.

Like all Candle Cakes, the Green Candle can be lit using Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge, and the flame can be extinguished by right-clicking.

Where Can Cake with Green Candle Be Found?

A Cake with Green Candle does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To create one:

1. Craft a Cake – Using 3 Wheat, 3 Buckets of Milk, 2 Sugar, and 1 Egg in a Crafting Table.
2. Craft a Green Candle – Made from 1 String and 1 Green Dye (obtained by smelting Cactus in a Furnace).
3. Place the Cake down first – Then, right-click the Cake with the Green Candle to attach it.
4. Light the Candle – Use Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge to ignite it.

Once placed, the Cake can still be eaten slice by slice, and when fully consumed, the Green Candle remains behind as a separate block.
