Realistic Torches

Info

The sister mod to Realistic Campfires, changing how the vanilla torches works by requiring you to put more work in maintaining them.

To use this mod, download the mod it and move it to your .minecraft/mods folder. Additionally, you will need to install this mod on your server for it to work properly. The Fabric API jar for this mod is also needed for the client and server.

Features

Whenever you place down a torch, it will not be lit. In order to light it on fire, you need to grab a flint and steel and right-click the torch. By default, the torch will be lit for three (3) minutes before extinguishing. A torch can be extinguished early by right0-clicking it.

The amount of time it takes for a torch to be extinguished can be configured via a datapack.

1. Make a datapack in the data/realistic-torches/torch/time/ directory.
2. Create a time.json file in this directory with the following data-blocked:

{
	"minutes": int,
	"seconds": int 
}

Note that both these values are optional, but they must both be present (that is to say, if you want the torches to be lit for only 45 seconds, minutes must be present by specifying "minutes": 0. If none of these values are present, then the game will default to 5 minutes.

Other features include:

• Rain will extinguish the torch if the top of the torch block is exposed.

These features apply to both the regular torch and soul torch blocks. Redstone torches are not affected by this mod.
