More Beautiful Torches
by Lupin
Players who want more decorative lights can use More Beautiful Torches, which adds over 900 torch variants across wood, stone, redstone and soul fire types.
What it does
Torches in this mod come in several families: a dozen made only from wood, more than a hundred built from stone blocks or similar materials such as minerals, redstone variants of every torch type, and blue soul fire variants. The author says the goal is decoration, with future themed variants planned for each element of the game, and regular updates add more torches over time.
The mod requires MonoLib on all three loaders. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.19 – 26.1.2, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The author describes compatibility with other mods as broad and takes requests for extra compatibility.
Key features
Wood torch family
A dozen torches made exclusively of wood give builders a set of warm light sources for timber structures.
Stone torch family
More than a hundred torches can be crafted from stone blocks or similar materials such as minerals.
Redstone torch variants
Every torch type has a redstone counterpart, so lighting can be matched to redstone builds.
Soul fire torch variants
All variants of blue fire torches are included, adding a cold tone to lit areas.

How it compares
Tinted Torches is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source. Ceiling Torch is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.12.2 – 26.3, with client and server both needed. Torches Set Mobs on Fire is open source under the MIT License, is server required with optional client, and targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it differs from More Beautiful Torches in its server-side environment.
