The Middle Torch in 1.7.0

About this Mod

This mod adds a key binding to the game to place a torch. Configure that key to anything (e.g. middle mouse button) in the normal game settings. It works purely client-side and does not need to be installed on the server.

Note: The torches must be in your hotbar.

For Minecraft version 1.7.10 to 1.12.2, the following torches are supported:

  • vanilla torches
  • modded torches that expand vanilla torches
  • Tinkers' Construct's Stone Torches
  • Silent's Gems' Torch Bandolier (v0.2)
  • Carpenter's Blocks' torches (v0.3)
  • TerrFirmaCraft's torches (v0.3)
  • Gravity Torch's Mounted Torch (v0.9)

For Minecraft version 1.13.2 and up, the following torches are supported:

  • vanilla torches
  • modded torches that expand vanilla torches
  • torches in the tag "forge:torches" (before 1.21) / "c:torches" (1.21 and later)
  • torch-like items in the tag "forge:torchplacers" (before 1.21) / "c:torchplacers" (1.21 and later)

You can add new torches (or torch-like items) with a data pack or by nagging their author(s).
