What it does

Once the mod is enabled, it starts placing torches automatically on the block a player stands on when its light level falls below 4, and torches can be held in the offhand so the placement uses them. The option is turned off by default because the author considers automatic placement cheaty, and the author advises caution when using it. Fabric API is required, and only the client needs the mod: installing it on a server is unnecessary.

Key features

  1. Automatic torch placement

    Torches are placed without a click when the light level under the player drops below 4.

  2. Offhand torch supply

    Torches held in the offhand are used for the automatic placement.

  3. Accurate Torch Placement

    An optional setting places the torch on the top face of the block, and it is off by default.
