BoneTorch (FABRIC)

by vowxky

BoneTorch adds a torch crafted from bones, giving players an alternative light source that works the same way as the vanilla torch.

What it does

Players craft a bone torch from bones and use it as a light source, placed on the ground or a wall like a regular torch. The mod brings the original BoneTorch behavior to Fabric, keeping its core mechanics so players get the same results on this loader. Its code is adjusted to fit Fabric's structure, and it relies on Fabric API for compatibility with Fabric-based environments.

The mod is light and stays close to vanilla, so it fits survival worlds, decorated builds and modpacks that want an extra lighting option without new systems. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. BoneTorch runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Its only published build is 1.0 for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly available.

  2. Original functionality kept

    The port keeps the core mechanics of the original BoneTorch mod, so the torch behaves as its original version does.

  3. Vanilla-friendly design
