There is some prep work that will need to be done beforehand, especially if you are hoping to have some spare materials to bring along on your adventures. Gather and create the following materials to make some torches:

  • Sticks
  • Charcoal or Coal

The first thing to do is create some sticks, which can be done by stacking two wood planks vertically in your crafting menu. After this has been done, create some charcoal or coal by utilizing the flames of your furnace. Follow the link for a handy guide on how to make charcoal quickly.

Once this has been done, grab the two newly created items, enter your crafting menu, place a stick at the bottom, and a piece of charcoal at the top, and you’ll have four torches ready to grab. With the sheer depth of some of these caves and caverns, creating as many as possible before heading out wouldn’t be the worst idea around.
