Totally Lit - Candles

by realguyman

Totally Lit - Candles is a server-side Fabric mod in which candles go out on their own after a set time, configured per world through gamerules.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.18.2

What it does

Candles placed in a world extinguish once specific conditions are met, and the time a candle burns is set by a gamerule. Changing the gamerules does not require a server or client restart. The burn duration gamerule accepts values from 6000 to 168000 ticks, and only candles placed after a change take the new value.

The mod was built as a simple server-side project for Fabric and is packaged with the original mod it was simplified from, so one file carries both. It suits survival worlds and adventure maps where candle lighting should be a timed mechanic. Installation needs Fabric API on the server. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Files are published for 1.18.2 only, with 0.1.0+1.18.2 as the latest build.

Key features

  1. Timed candle extinguishing

    Candles go out when conditions are met, and time passing counts toward when a candle goes out.

  2. Per-world gamerule configuration

    Burn duration and related behavior are set through gamerules, so each world can use its own values.

  3. Live gamerule changes

    Gamerule changes apply without restarting the server, though only newly placed candles pick up the new duration.

  4. Bounded burn duration

    The burnDuration gamerule must stay between 6000 and 168000 ticks.

What the author says

A simple server-side mod developed for Fabric. Requires Fabric API! Changing these gamerules doesn't require you to restart your server (or client). But only newly placed candles will take the changes applied.
