Underwater Torch
by Maxi_f9xikh
Underwater Torch lets torches, soul torches and redstone torches be placed underwater, where they keep emitting light while submerged.
What it does
Regular torches, soul torches and redstone torches can be placed on the floor or on walls underwater, and each variant stays lit while waterlogged. Light level matches what the same torch gives on land, so underwater bases can be lit the way dry buildings are, without sea lanterns or glowstone. Redstone torches also keep working below the surface, which allows submerged redstone builds.
The mod lights up ocean monuments, underwater caves and shipwrecks using ordinary torches. It is a Fabric mod with a small footprint and is required on both the client and the server, with server owners and players installing it together. Files cover game versions 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.1-1.21.4, was published on 2026-05-24 for 1.21.4.
