NoTorchPlace

by konstasiil

NoTorchPlace stops torches and other items from being placed once the stack drops below a set count, so a player keeps a reserve of that item.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License26.1.2

What it does

Placement is blocked when the count of a chosen item falls to a configured minimum. The threshold can be set anywhere from 1 to 64 items, and the list of protected items is configurable, so a player can guard torches, or any other item, by ID. Creative mode is not affected, and placement is always allowed there.

The mod runs on the client alone, so a player installs it and a server does not need it. Its settings are reachable through ModMenu, where the Cloth Config integration provides a full configuration screen. The mod is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source in the sense of a public repository listing here. Files exist for 26.1.2 only, with 1.2 as the latest Fabric build, dated 2026-05-16.

NoTorchPlace depends on Fabric API and Cloth Config, and it targets Fabric Loader 0.19.2. Its first build was published on 2026-05-14.

Use cases

Keeping a torch reserve

A player mining deep underground can keep a set number of torches in the inventory for emergencies instead of using the last ones on the wall.

Who it’s for: Survival players who run out of torches or other supplies in the middle of a trip. Creative players are not affected by the threshold.

How it compares

Full comparison

TorchOK targets Fabric for 1.21 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and it runs on both client and server, so a server also needs it. Auto Torch is client-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 1.16.3 – 1.21. NoTorchPlace is client-side only as well, but it blocks placement at a threshold instead of placing torches automatically.
