Redstone Torch

Redstone Torch is an item that provides light and is used in Redstone circuits as a power source. It was added in Update 0.13.0 as part of Redstone Phase 1.

It provides a light level of 7, meaning Hostile Mobs can spawn. Redstone Torches can be inverted by connecting them to a lit Redstone wire, which means no light will be provided.
