About this Mod

Screenshot of torch underwater

No more dark oceans

Ever wondered what to do with glowing ink sacs aside from glowing item frames? Aquatic Torches adds waterproof torches to the game, which can be used just like normal, coal-fired torches but underwater.

Slightly brighter at light level 15, Aquatic Torches enable you to illuminate the entrance of your underwater bases and bring light to the vast darkness of the oceans.

It's available for Forge and Fabric on 1.17 and 1.18. Make sure you download the correct edition for your modloader.
You can use this mod in your modpack without having to ask for permission.
