What it does

Entities struck by a torch catch fire, and a mob that holds one can use it to attack another entity. The copper torch behaves the same way from 1.21.10 onward. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License and open source, with the latest 1.1.0 file for 1.21.11 dated 2026-01-12.

Key features

  1. Torch ignition

    A hit from a torch, soul torch or copper torch sets the struck entity on fire.

  2. Player targets

    Players are affected as well as mobs, so the effect applies to any living entity that is struck.

  3. Torch-wielding mobs

    Mobs that hold a torch use it in attacks against other entities.
