BugTorch
by jss2a98aj
BugTorch fixes bugs and applies optimizations for Vanilla 1.7.10 and a few mods, with most behaviors toggled in its configs.
What it does
The mod fixes several vanilla and mod behaviors: stack merging in vanilla and CoFHCore, enchantment visuals that disturbed the render state, particle depth sorting, leads that broke after being placed on some modded fences, and mineshaft air bubbles above dirt rooms. Lava only hisses when it mixes with water, and sheared leaves and tall grass no longer drop extra copies of themselves.
Other changes speed up or retune parts of the game. Pumpkins, Jack O' Lanterns, non-layered snow and torches drop out of random block ticks. A faster random implementation covers effects, entities, items, rendering, the internal server, hoppers and chests. Drowning, poison, starvation, suffocation and wither can be tuned with flat or scaling damage. Optional tweaks such as farmland trampling immunity and an un-restricted End Portal placement are off by default.
The mod requires UniMixins, and TX Loader is optional. It is published for Forge only, with 1.3.1 for 1.7.10 as the latest file, updated 2026-09-14. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Vanilla and CoFHCore fixes
Corrects stack merging and duplication issues in vanilla and the CoFHCore library.
Render and particle fixes
Stops enchantment effects from disturbing render state and sorts particles by depth, though translucent particles still ignore other translucents.
Block and item tweaks
Keeps leads from breaking after placement on some modded fences and prevents sheared leaves and tall grass from dropping extra copies.
Configurable optimizations
Random block tick removal and a faster random number source apply to several systems, and each can be switched in the configs.
Damage tuning
Drowning, poison, starvation, suffocation and wither each have flat or scaling damage options, and the Deep Dark block has its own tuning as well.
Compatibility
