2. Add Items to make a Light Blue Candle

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

When making a light blue candle, it is important that the candle and light blue 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 light blue dye in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a light blue candle.
