How it works

Candela fills a sphere with bottled daylight: pure light, with no lamp to see. Wake it, and the pattern burns away, leaving the chiseled blackstone heart. Invisible light fills every open space around it. Candela kindles — light fills 7 blocks.

The reach grows with Tier, from 3 blocks at Tier 1 to 15 at Tier 7.

Controlling the light

• Right-click the heart to douse the light or kindle it again. Candela dims — its light rests at zero.
• Power the heart with redstone, and the light level follows the strength of the signal, from 0 to 15. Candela brightens to light level 12.
• An automation designator can switch it from a sensor.

Breaking the heart ends the magic, and the light returns to air and water. Candela snuffs out — its light returns to air and water.

Tips

Light a cave, a farm, or a great hall without a single torch to spoil the build.
