How to craft a White Candle in Survival Mode

2. Add Items to make a White Candle

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a white candle, place 1 candle and 1 white dye in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a white candle, it is important that the candle and white dye are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 candle in the first box and 1 white dye in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a white candle.
