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.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.7.10

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

  1. Vanilla and CoFHCore fixes

    Corrects stack merging and duplication issues in vanilla and the CoFHCore library.

  2. Render and particle fixes

    Stops enchantment effects from disturbing render state and sorts particles by depth, though translucent particles still ignore other translucents.

  3. 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.

  4. Configurable optimizations

    Random block tick removal and a faster random number source apply to several systems, and each can be switched in the configs.

  5. 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.

Questions

Does BugTorch need UniMixins?

Yes. UniMixins is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside BugTorch on Forge 1.7.10.

Do the optimizations change world generation?

The faster random implementation for the world is off by default because it alters world generation. It can be enabled in the configs.

Is BugTorch needed on a server?

Yes. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed.
