About this project

What does Realistic Torches add?

Realistic Torches

Minecraft Forum - Source Code - Issue Tracker

Realistic Torches makes early gameplay more difficult by causing torches to burn out after a configurable amount of time, encouraging players to move toward more permanent light sources early on.

Features

  • Torches are now unlit after being crafted, and must be lit with a matchbox or flint and steel
  • Torches will burn out after a configurable amount of time (60 minutes real time by default)
  • Torches are extinguished when rained on
  • Torches generated in vanilla structures will be replaced by unlit torches
  • Permanently lit torches can be crafted using glowstone
  • Naturally light-emitting blocks and items will emit light when held (pre-1.14.4)
