Hardcore Torches

by wolfiewaffle · on Modrinth

Makes torches burn out after a configurable amount of time, as well as optionally starting unlit and extinguishing when broken or in the rain

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.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.2 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.11 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.6 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.18–1.18.1 · Fabric
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.

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:

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:
