Guide

Potash ore spawns at Y levels 26 through -26, and requires at least a stone pickaxe to mine. Each ore will drop 2-4 potash salt, which is the prime ingredient in making your very own potash torches.

Deepslate Potash Ore found underground.

Once you have potash salt, there are several ways to create potash torches.

In a crafting table, you can surround 1 potash salt with 8 torches to craft 8 potash torches.

If you don't want to craft so many extra, you can craft 1 potash salt with 1 torch to create a single potash torch.

Alternatively, you can create a potash torch by simply right clicking a torch with potash salt in your hand.

If you're feeling extra decorative, you can use your potash torches to create a potash lantern by surrounding 1 potash torch with 8 iron nuggets.
