About this Mod

Improved Off-hand Logic
Torches held in the off-hand (shield slot) can no longer be placed by right-clicking. This prevents accidental torch placement while you are placing blocks or fighting.
Dynamic Lighting Mechanics
Ignite from Blocks: Right-click a Stick on any active heat source to turn it into a Torch. Supported blocks include:
Torches & Wall Torches
Active Furnaces, Smokers, and Blast Furnaces
Campfires
Fire block & Soul Fire
Redstone Block
Manual Ignition: Hold a Stick in your main hand and a Flint and Steel or Fire Charge in your off-hand. Right-click to craft a torch instantly with custom sound effects.
Lava Charring: Right-clicking Lava with a stick won't light it—instead, the extreme heat turns it into a Burnt Stick.
Interacting with heat sources isn't "free." To keep the game balanced, the following rules apply:
Fuel Consumption: Right-clicking a Furnace, Smoker, or Blast Furnace 6 times will consume 1 unit of its current fuel.
Source Depletion: Right-clicking a Torch or Redstone Block 6 times will cause the block to break/burn out.
Extinguishing Fires: Using a Campfire as a light source 6 times will extinguish the fire, requiring you to relight it.
New Item: Burnt Stick
Obtained by clicking a stick on Lava.
Can be placed in a crafting grid to produce 1 Charcoal, making it a primitive way to get fuel.

Logical Torches server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Logical Torches compatible with forge?
Logical Torches officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Logical Torches – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Logical Torches consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
