About this Mod

World Auto Torch Placer

World Auto Torch Placer cover image

Stop breaking your mining flow to place torches every few seconds! This mod automatically places torches from your inventory when the light level around you drops too low. Perfect for cave exploration, mining, and building in dark areas.

Features

  • Automatic Torch Placement - Places torches when average light level drops below 7
  • Movement-Based Activation - Checks every 0.1 seconds while moving, less frequently when stationary
  • Smart Light Detection - Calculates average light level in 3x3x3 area around player
  • Wall Priority - Prioritizes placing torches on walls over ground
  • Three Placement Modes - Auto (walls + ground), wall-only, or ground-only
  • Toggle Keybind - Press K to turn on/off with visual feedback
  • Inventory Search - Finds torches anywhere in your inventory (not just hotbar)

How It Works

Walk through a dark cave with torches in your inventory.
When the average light level around you drops below 7, a torch is automatically placed.
Torches are placed on nearby walls first, then on the ground if no walls are available.
The mod checks more frequently when you're moving (every 0.1 seconds).
Press K to toggle the mod on/off at any time.
