Realistic Torches [Plus]

Torches placed in the world burn for a set time and then go out. A torch that has gone out can be lit again with flint and steel, and a torch is also put out right away when it meets rain or when the player who carries it goes under water. The unlit state is shown on the torch itself, so the change is visible while exploring.

The timing and the list of torch items are read from a config file, realistictorches.json, and from the tag at data/realistictorches/tags/items/torch items.json. A data pack can add more items to that tag, so other torches can follow the same rules. Realistic Torches [Plus] is for server owners and modpack builders, since it is installed on the server only and players join without installing anything. The files target Fabric and 1.20.1 alone; the latest Fabric file is 2.2 for 1.20.1, published 2025-04-28.
