Minecraft 1.17 introduced a lot of new content, including goats and axolotls as well as glowing item frames. One of the most noticeable changes was the addition of candles with a wide range of colors. We will show you how to make each candle color.

You can make a normal candle using a Honeycomb, String and the pattern in the image. You don’t need a Crafting Table to do this.

After you have made a candle, you can dye it to change its color. This can be done with or without a Crafting Table. The gallery below will show you the ingredients and recipe for each candle.

A player can also be given a candle in any color by sending commands.

You can replace the word color by the color you desire.

Java:

/give PlayerName minecraft:color_candle
