How to Make Candles in Minecraft

Candles only require two materials to make. You’ll need one string and one honeycomb to make a candle.

Once you have both of the required materials, you’ll need to open up your crafting table and put the string in the top middle row and the honeycomb in the second middle row. It should look like the string is directly above the honeycomb in the middle row. This will then provide you with one candle.

If you want to make more than one candle, you’ll obviously need more materials. So however much string and honeycomb you have is how many candles you’ll be able to make.
