Torcherino Community Edition
by artiks4471
With Torcherino Community Edition installed, a torcherino-style block speeds up random ticks for nearby blocks, plus faster ore smelting and mob spawner activity.
What it does
Torcherino Community Edition is a Forge mod for 1.12.2. Its main block accelerates the growth of plants and the timing of other tile entities around it, so crops and machines nearby progress faster than normal. The mod also speeds up ore smelting and increases how quickly mob spawners produce mobs, which changes how fast resources and experience accumulate in a base.
Installation is only needed for Forge 1.12.2, and the mod is listed under Storage with Technology, Utility, Economy, Game mechanics, Magic and Management as secondary categories. Both the server and every player need it, since the effects happen in the world itself. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the project has a source repository, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Faster plant growth
Plants inside the block's range grow at an accelerated rate, which reduces the time crops need to mature.
Faster ore smelting
Furnaces process ore faster when the effect applies, shortening the wait for smelted materials.
Faster mob spawners
Mob spawners tied to the effect produce mobs more often, which speeds up farms built around them.
Community-maintained fork
Released in October 2023 and updated in November 2025, this edition continues development with its own fixes and a public issue tracker.

Use cases
Crop farms
Players place the block among crop rows to bring harvests forward without building a larger farm.
Mob farms
Spawner-based mob farms produce more output per hour when the block sits within reach of the spawner.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.12.2 who run automated farms, smelting setups or spawner-based mob farms, and server owners who want those systems to progress faster in a multiplayer world.
