Cake with Lime Candle

What is a Cake with Lime Candle?

A Cake with Lime Candle is a decorative and interactive block in Minecraft, created by placing a Lime Candle on top of a Cake. This allows players to light the candle for celebrations, tropical-themed parties, or bright decorations. When the Cake is eaten, the Candle remains, making it a great addition to jungle builds, vibrant festivals, or futuristic bases.

Like all Candle Cakes, the Lime 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 Lime Candle Be Found?

A Cake with Lime 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 Lime Candle – Made from 1 String and 1 Lime Dye (obtained by combining Green Dye (from smelted Cactus) with White Dye (from Bone Meal) or by finding Sea Pickles in warm oceans).
3. Place the Cake down first – Then, right-click the Cake with the Lime 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 Lime Candle remains behind as a separate block.

• Cyberpunk or futuristic decorations, as Lime Candles pair well with Neon aesthetics and End Rods.
• Alien or fantasy worlds, where the lime-green glow gives an otherworldly feel.
• A light source (when lit), emitting a light level of 3, similar to an unlit Torch.

Since Candles can be dyed in 16 colors, players can customize their Cake to match different aesthetics.
