TorchBowMod

by noriokun4649

TorchBowMod lets a bow fire torches as arrows, placing a light source where the arrow lands, and it is available on four loaders.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 26.1

What it does

A torch bow shoots torch projectiles. The torch item is used as the arrow, so players can light dark areas, caves and mob spawn spots from a distance. The mod also adds a multi torch and a torch arrow, and it recognizes torch items and blocks that extend WallTorchBlock, so compatible torch variants from other mods can be fired without extra setup.

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 15 release versions 1.20 – 26.1 in the 1.20 – 26.1 range. Both sides need the mod, so the server and every player install it. Fabric builds need Fabric API, and Quilt builds need Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL). The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Netherite Torch Bow requires TorchBowMod.

Key features

  1. Torch bow

    A bow variant that fires torches, so the light is placed at the point where the projectile lands.

  2. Multi torch

    A projectile option that fires more than one torch at a time for lighting larger areas.

  3. Torch arrow

    A torch item used as the ammunition in place of a standard arrow.

  4. Ceiling torch placement

    Torches can be placed on the underside of blocks, including through the NeoForge build's ceiling torch support.

  5. Compatible torch variants

    Torch items and blocks that extend WallTorchBlock work with the bow automatically, and the author lists checks with several torch add-on mods.

How it compares

Full comparison

Torch Action is a Forge and NeoForge mod released under All rights reserved, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.20.4 and no open source code. TorchLauncher covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2 under All rights reserved. Easy Auto Torch is client-side only and NeoForge-only for 1.21.1, so it does not need the server, unlike TorchBowMod, which is client and server. ThrowableTorches is an MIT-licensed mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge that covers 1.19.2 – 26.3, which is a broader range than this mod's.
