Realistic Torches

Realistic Torches mod introduces realistic changes to torch mechanics, making them temporary light sources. This makes early game stages more challenging and encourages players to transition to more reliable lighting methods.

Main Features

Torches are crafted in inactive state and require ignition using flint and steel or matchbox. They gradually burn out over a specified time (default - 60 minutes real time) and extinguish when exposed to rain. Torches found in vanilla world structures will also be inactive. For creating permanent light sources, glowstone can be used.
