A redstone torch is special block in Minecraft that interacts with Redstone. It has several functions in redstone circuitry, but the primary purpose is to act as a power source.
Redstone torches have a light level of 7 and will not melt ice or snow due to their low light level. This means they have half the light output of a regular torch, allowing mobs to spawn nearby.
A redstone torch is crafted using Redstone which can be mined with a pickaxe very easily, and sticks made from wooden planks of any breed of tree.
