🔥Realistic Torches Plus

This modification, originally developed for the Easycraft modpack, significantly alters torch mechanics in Minecraft, making their behavior more realistic and coherent.

Key Features

• Torches burn out over time — after a certain period of continuous burning, torches extinguish, requiring players to regularly maintain their lighting.

• Relighting capability — extinguished torches can be reignited using flint and steel or another burning torch, providing flexibility in maintaining illumination.

• Quick extinguishing from moisture — when exposed to rain, torches instantly go out, and when the player fully submerges in water, all torches in the inventory also extinguish.

Extending Functionality

To add compatibility with other torch types, create a datapack with the path /data/realistictorches/tags/items/torch_items.json

Configuration example:

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "quad-mstv-mtv:spruce_torch",
    "quad-mstv-mtv:birch_torch",
    "quad-mstv-mtv:jungle_torch",
    "quad-mstv-mtv:acacia_torch"
  ]
}

Parameter Configuration

The realistic_torches.json configuration file allows detailed customization of the mod's behavior:

{
  "torchBurnOutTime": 36000,
  "submergeInWaterUnlitTorchesInInventory": true,
  "rainExtinguishTorches": true
}

Note: Additional configuration parameters may be added in the future
