About this Mod

(Note: Needs Fabric API)

Candle Backport is a mod that seeks to do one thing and one thing only: faithfully backport the new candles from 1.17 to 1.16 versions of Fabric. The functionality is 1:1: you can stack up to four candles in one space, dye them whatever color you please, light them, extinguish them, put them on cakes, and everything else you can do in the snapshots as of typing this. The code and assets are a direct port from the snapshots (with few amendments to make them actually work in 1.16, of course).

I have no plans to port to Forge simply because there are already mods that do this very same thing.

Server lagging with Candle Backport – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Candle Backport consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
