ThrowableTorch
by DanikingRD
With ThrowableTorch, a torch can be thrown onto a ledge that is otherwise out of reach, lighting the spot from a distance.
What it does
ThrowableTorch is a client-side adventure mod that adds a torch which the player can throw. The throwable torch is crafted from slimeballs, clay and honeycomb, so it is built from materials gathered in ordinary play. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric and Quilt.
The author made it to solve a small problem: lighting a dark ledge above the player. Files target 1.19 – 1.21.3 and the latest Fabric build is for 1.21.3. The code is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
Throwable Torch is made for Fabric; it requires the Fabric Loader & Fabric API. Always wished you had some way to light up that dark ledge above you? Now, with a few slimeballs (or some clay) you too can create a throwable torch.
