Root-Torch is a social pass-the-torch minigame for Paper/Spigot servers — a family-friendly alternative to
Root-Joint.
One player lights it. Everyone keeps it alive by passing. Let the timer run out and it goes out — unless you set a new longest-burn record.
Features
Permissions: roottorch.use (default true) · roottorch.bypass-fee · roottorch.price · roottorch.reload (op)
Install: Drop jar → restart → edit plugins/RootMC/root-torch.yml. Prefer one of Root-Torch or Root-Joint.
Soft depends: Root-Core, Vault, PlaceholderAPI, RootMC (all optional).
