Torch

Torches are a tool in Forge used to light up dark areas such as caves or the night. Created with the Build tool using 5 wood, Torches can be lit using either 3 bark for 35 seconds or 1 flare for 245 seconds. They switch between glowing a bright yellow and red in about a 10 radius around the player. Though the player can hold the torch and the light will emit from the head of it, while the torch is put away it will still glow instead using the player's torso as the emitter for both the particles and light.

Flare Torches
While using Flares on torches has the obvious benefit of longer runtime they also have different properties. When the player goes underwater using a Flare-litten torch, the torch will change the color of both the light and particles to a dark blue.
