Torch on the belt is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that lets you equip a regular vanilla torch on your belt instead of holding it in your hand.
This gives you a moving light source while keeping your hands free for mining, combat, building, and exploration.
Features
- Equip a normal torch on your belt with V
- Remove it and return it to your inventory with G
- Emits moving light around the player while equipped
- Keeps normal vanilla right-click torch placement
- Uses a standard vanilla torch instead of adding a separate custom item
- Appears on the player model for a more immersive look
How it works
1. Hold a normal torch in your hand
2. Press V to equip it on your belt
3. The torch is removed from your inventory and attached to your player
4. While equipped, it creates moving light around you
5. Press G to remove it and return it to your inventory
Notes
- Works with regular vanilla torches
- Torches can still be placed normally with right-click
- If your inventory is full when removing the torch, it will be dropped near the player
