Totally Lit

by realguyman · on Modrinth

Brings realistic/hardcore mechanics to torches, candles, lanterns, campfires, and jack o' lanterns in a configurable way.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Designed to fit into Minecraft's lore as closely as possible, while providing a more challenging early game experience and encouraging players to use powered, magical, and bioluminescent light sources.

An open source mod built for Fabric (works on Quilt, too). Requires Fabric API and owo-lib. For more in-depth information regarding the project, read the wiki 📖.

Inspired by Realistic Torches, thank you MattCzyr!
