NOW A FABRIC MOD Hardcore Torches makes torches and lanterns temporary, and now campfires as well! You place them and they burn out eventually.
By default, torches last 40 minutes, and cannot be moved once placed. Lanterns last 3x as long, are currently filled with coal, and can be moved around. Campfires are lit by fuel items for 8x the amount of time that the item would burn in a furnace.
You can configure:
-
how long they last
-
if you can pick them up again once placed down
-
if they extinguish in the rain
-
if they are crafted pre-lit or must be lit with flint and steel
-
among others
Tag Configuration: Some configuration options must now be done through tags. You can make a datapack, or add items to tags through a mod like CraftTweaker. The tags are:
Blocks: hardcore_torches:blocks/free_torch_light_blocks - Blocks you can right click with a torch to light the torch
Items: Item tags are 3 parts: consume, damage, free - whether the item will be consumed, durability damaged, or not affected. torch, lantern - whether this tag applies to torches or lanterns. light, extinguish, smother - light lights the block, smother makes it smoldering, extinguish makes it unlit. Currently, lantern only has light.
Example: hardcore_torches:items/damage_torch_light_items - Items which take damage to light a torch (Flint and Steel)
PLANS:
I plan on adding many more features. Some include:
-
Candles which also burn out
-
Different qualities of torches for modded coals
-
Torch Bandolier which condenses torches for easy placement
-
More configuration options
-
And more

- Bandolier stores 3 stacks of torches (configurable)
- Bandolier will automatically consolidate torches of different fuel values, and in some cases even differerent states. For example you can add lit torches to a bandolier full of unlit ones, and it will extinguish them.
- When wearing the Bandolier on your belt, you can right click a block to place a torch from it and light it automatically. By default, you must be holding nothing to do this.

IMPORTANT: Because of the bug fixe, and the fact that soul lanterns were half-implemented, I recommend you do the following:
- Delete the lines in your configuration file having to do with soul lanterns/torches and xp, as the old default values were terrible and this will generate new defaults.
- Remove and replace any lanterns that were placed on walls using the Amendments compatibility, as they may have infinite fuel until they receive a block update.
- Added Soul Lanterns and Soul Torches (properly). You fuel them with XP, by right clicking them with an amethyst shard.
- Fixed a bug involving fuel values not saving on wall lanterns.
- Big code refactor, I tried to test everything but there might be bugs.

- Added a Primitive Stove when Farmer's Delight is present. This stove requires fuel, and by default is crafted with an unlit campfire instead of a regular stove.
- Fixed Amendments wall lanterns not saving fuel properly. If you have Hardcore Lanterns placed on walls using Amendments, they will continue to burn infinitely until updated/broken because of this bug, so I suggest replacing your lit wall lanterns.
