Last Torch
by wugg
Last Torch is a Fabric helper for Minecraft 1.21.1 that stops a player from placing their final torch by accident while the torch is held in the off-hand.
What it does
Last Torch keeps the last torch in a stack from being set down when it is held in the off-hand, so a light source stays available while exploring deep caves. The mod is listed as a lightweight essential helper and adds Soul Torch and Soul Lantern to the supported items. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. Fabric API is required. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-05-05 under the MIT License.
Key features
Protects the last torch
A held torch in the off-hand cannot be placed when it is the last one left in the stack.
Soul Torch and Soul Lantern
The soul variants are among the supported items, so the same protection covers them.
Cave exploration
Keeping one light source in reserve helps when a player travels through dark caves far from home.
