Arrows Break Torches

by Trod

Arrows Break Torches lets a player knock out a torch by hitting its base with an arrow, so the torch drops as an item on the ground.

What it does

The mod changes how torches can be removed in Minecraft. A torch can be broken from a distance, without the player standing next to it or reaching it by hand. Shooting an arrow at the base of a torch causes it to break and drop as an item. This is meant for torches that sit out of reach, such as on high walls or ceilings.

Arrows Break Torches is for Forge only, with a single file, V1.0, built for 1.16.5. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.

Key features

  1. Arrow removal

    An arrow that strikes the base of a placed torch breaks it and leaves the torch behind as an item.

  2. Long-distance breaking

    Torches can be removed from a distance, so the player does not need to walk up to a torch that is out of reach.

  3. Item drop

    A broken torch drops to the ground, where it can be picked up again instead of disappearing.
