About this Mod

Put Down The Damn Torch - Auto Torch Placer

Tired of constantly pulling out and placing torches manually while exploring dark caves or during nighttime adventures? Put Down The Damn Torch automates this routine task!

This client-side mod lets you focus on mining, fighting, or building by automatically placing a torch from your inventory when it gets too dark around you. No more interrupting your flow every few steps to light the way!

🔥 Features:

  • Automatic Torch Placement: The mod places a torch at your feet when needed.
  • Simple Toggle: Easily enable or disable the mod with a single key press (Default: N).
  • Flexible Operating Modes: Choose when the mod should work:
    • Always: Places torches in low light at any time (perfect for mining). (Configurable)
    • Night Mode: Only active at night, placing torches when the light level is low. (Configurable)
    • Cave Mode: Always active, but only places torches in very low light levels (like unlit caves). (Configurable)
  • Quick Mode Switching: Cycle through the modes with a key press (Default: M) while the mod is active.
  • Convenient HUD: A small indicator on your screen shows if the mod is enabled and which mode is active.
  • Inventory Check: The mod only uses torches if you have them in your main inventory or off-hand.
  • Configurable via Mod Menu: Easily customize keybindings, light level thresholds for modes, and other settings using Cloth Config (requires Mod Menu).
  • Client-Side: The mod is only needed on your client; it doesn't need to be installed on the server! Compatible with Vanilla and other servers without the mod.

⚙️ How to Use:

  1. Launch the game.
  2. Press N (changeable in controls settings or via Mod Menu) to toggle auto-torch placement on or off. You'll see a chat message and the HUD will update.
  3. If the mod is enabled, press M (changeable) to cycle through the "Always," "Night," and "Cave" modes. The HUD will show the current mode.
  4. Make sure you have torches (only minecraft:torch:( ) in your inventory.
  5. Customize the mod's behavior to your liking through the config menu (accessible via Mod Menu if Cloth Config is installed).
  6. Enjoy the automatic lighting! The mod will place a torch at your feet when the conditions of the selected mode and your settings are met.

🤔 Why Use It?

  • Save Time: Spend less time on routine actions.
  • Convenience: Don't get distracted from exploring or fighting.
  • Safety: Automatically light up dark areas, preventing hostile mob spawns.
  • Immersion: Less interface switching means more focus on the gameplay.
