About this Mod
AutoTorcher
Do you forget to place torches while exploring caves? Or maybe you just want to make sure you're never in complete darkness? If so, AutoTorcher is the mod for you!
Remove some tasks from your Minecraft adventures by letting AutoTorcher handle torch placement for you. With this mod installed, torches will be automatically placed whenever you find yourself in a light level of 0, ensuring you always have visibility in dark areas, and a mob-free experience.
Let yourself mine, or eat, or just explore without needing torches in your hand. Just make sure you have torches in your inventory though.
A torch a day keeps the mobs away! Or something like that.
A little video demonstration
How to use
Just keep torches in your inventory, and you'll find that the surrounding space will be automatically lit up!
