How to make lights in minecraft that turn on and off

Monsters come out in the dark, so turn on the lights!

Light Sources

Mostly you will use torches to provide light, but a number of other items are practical light sources too.

Torch

One stick and one piece of coal or charcoal makes four torches.

They're cheap as well as useful!

Torches provide light when you place them on a wall or the floor. They do not provide light when you are just holding them.
