torched

Torched Minecraft mod: throwable and sticky torches

Ever wanted to throw a lit torch ahead of you, or down a dark cave? Now you can!

This mod gives you the ability to:

throw lit torches, which will stay lit when they land anywhere that would support a lit regular torch
craft sticky torches, which stick to walls and other vertical surfaces

All four torch types (regular, copper, soul, redstone) are supported and have a sticky counterpart.

Torches, including sticky ones, place normally if a surface is within reach. By default, torches will be thrown when trying to place on surfaces that are out of reach. Torches can also be thrown by using a dedicated key.

Configuration

The key binding (default G) is configurable under Controls → Gameplay.

With Mod Menu installed there is a settings screen behind the mod’s config button. Without it the same settings live in config/torched.json:

{
  "throwOnUse": true,
  "throwVanillaTorches": true
}

throwOnUse hooks into an existing interaction; turn it off (set to false) if you’d rather right-click a torch without throwing it when pointing at something out-of-reach, and use the key binding instead.
throwVanillaTorches is enforced by the server. Set it to false to only allow throwing sticky torches.

Multiplayer servers

The mod must be installed on both the server and client. A vanilla client on a modded server will not be able to throw torches.

Crafting

You can craft sticky torches by combining a torch and a slimeball.
