Realistic Torches

Realistic Torches makes torches burn out after a configurable amount of time, making the early game more difficult and encouraging players to move toward more permanent light sources early on.

Features

  • Torches are now unlit after being crafted, and must be lit with a matchbox or flint and steel
  • Torches will burn out after a configurable amount of time (60 minutes real time by default)
  • Torches are extinguished when rained on
  • Torches generated in vanilla structures will be replaced by unlit torches
  • Permanently lit (vanilla) torches can be crafted using glowstone

Recipes

Matchbox

Lit torch (shapeless, matchbox takes damage)

Glowstone crystal (coal or charcoal)

Glowstone paste (shapeless)

Vanilla torch (glowstone crystal)

Vanilla torch (glowstone paste)
