NO MORE TORCHES
by YELLOWPUMPK
No More Torches stops players from placing a torch on every block they touch, letting them place a light block in its place instead.
What it does
Placing torches across the ground one by one is slow, so this mod makes the placement of light blocks do the work instead. A player places a light block where a torch would have gone, and a second action removes it again to restore the original block.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across seven release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6, and the code is under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Light block placement
A light block fills the spot where a torch would go, so the area is lit without a torch on every tile.
Light block removal
Putting a block back where the light block sits clears it, returning the ground to its earlier state.
Ground lighting
Large floors and outdoor areas can be lit in fewer steps than placing torches one at a time.

How it compares
No Structure Torches is a Forge-only option for 1.20.1 that also runs server-side only under All rights reserved. Picktorch is a Fabric client mod for 1.20.1 that is open source under the MIT License, so it needs installing on the player side instead. Craft Light covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge 1.18.2 – 1.21.10 and runs with a server required and client optional.
