The Redstone Torch is a block that provides a constant Redstone signal and is commonly used in Redstone circuits as a power source or signal inverter. A Redstone Torch is crafted using 1 Stick and 1 Redstone Dust in a 2×2 crafting grid. It does not generate naturally and must be crafted by the player.
When placed, a Redstone Torch emits a Redstone signal that powers adjacent blocks and Redstone components such as Redstone Dust, Repeaters, and Pistons. It can also be used as a signal inverter when placed beneath a solid block that has Redstone power, turning it off when the block is powered and on when the block is unpowered. A Redstone Torch can be broken instantly by hand or with any tool.
