About this project

What does Torchbearer add?

Torchbearer

Hold a torch and the cave is lit. Hold a lantern and the road is lit. The light is real, so everyone near you sees it and monsters stay away from it, and nobody has to install anything on their client.

How it works

  • Any light source in either hand counts: a block shines as brightly as it does when placed, a lava bucket shines at full brightness.
  • The light walks with you: an invisible light block sits at your head or feet and moves as you move. Put the torch away and it is gone.
  • Under water the light keeps the water around it, and the water comes back when you leave.
  • Never replaces a real block: only air and water are used.
  • Lights are cleared when you log out and when the server stops. After a hard crash an invisible light may stay where you stood.

Needs

  • Minecraft 26.3 (Fabric), or the other versions listed under Files (NeoForge 26.3, Fabric and NeoForge 1.21.1, Fabric and Forge 1.20.1)
  • Fabric API on Fabric
  • Server side only: players join with a vanilla client. In single player it works too.
