Description
A simple torch, or is it… Fully configurable from the burnout delay to what dimensions it is used in.
This torch will replace vanilla torches when configured to do so, this means that anytime a player places a vanilla torch, it will place a burnout torch instead. There's no way around it, even mods that place torches like Reliquary end up with a burnout torch placed instead.
Torches can be re-lit with a flint and steel once extinguished.
There is config options for the extinguish chance, supported dimensions, blacklisted light sources and allowed light sources.
New in 1.0.4:
Custom Relighter Items
You can add new items that can relight burned-out torches using a datapack tag.
Create or edit the file:
data/simple_burnout_torch/tags/items/torch_relighting_items.json.
Example:
{ "replace": false, "values": [ "minecraft:flint_and_steel", "minecraft:fire_charge", "minecraft:blaze_rod", "minecraft:torchflower" ] }Any item listed here will work like Flint & Steel or Fire Charge when used on a burned-out torch. The mod automatically plays the correct sound and consumes or damages the item based on the config setting.
Custom Deny List:
You can deny blocks from being placed as light sources:
Create or edit the file:
data/simple_burnout_torch/tags/blocks/blocked_lights.json
or
In KubeJS Server Scripts:
Example:
{ "values": [ "#simple_burnout_torch:sea_lantern_like", "#simple_burnout_torch:glowstone_like", "#simple_burnout_torch:jack_o_lantern_like", "mininggadgets:minerslight" ] }Built exclusively my other mods, you're welcome to use in your modpacks.
