Stone torches and torch arrows for cave adventures
Stone Torch
A torch made with stone sticks instead of wooden ones. Functionally identical to a vanilla torch just made from stone.
- Stone Stick: 2 cobblestone → 4 stone sticks

Works with bows and crossbows.

Torches server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Torches compatible with neoforge?
Torches officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Torches – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Torches 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.
