Realistic Torches BT

Realistic Torches BT makes fire-based light sources behave more dynamically and immersive.

Features

• Burn Time Management:

  • Torches, lanterns, and campfires burn out after configurable times.
  • Burn times and extinguish behavior are fully configurable in config/torchesbt.json5

• Environmental Effects:

  • Rain and water can extinguish light sources.
  • Multipliers for rain and water effects are configurable.

• Reignition System:

  • Relight extinguished torches, lanterns, and campfires using custom igniters (e.g., flint & steel, blaze rods).
  • Igniters and their effectiveness are defined in JSON: data/torchesbt/igniters/

• Fueling System:

  • Extend burn times with fuel items (e.g., coal, sticks).
  • Fuel definitions are data-driven via JSON: data/torchesbt/fuels/

• Dynamic Lighting (Optional):

  • Toggleable dynamic lighting support.
  • Configurable via config/torchesbt.json5
  • Held and dropped torches and lanterns lose burn time while Dynamic Light support is enabled.

• Data-Driven Customization:

  • All ignition and fuel behaviors are fully editable via JSON files, allowing easy modpack or server customization without code changes.

• NOTES:

  • Very early alpha — incompatibilities with other mods that modify torches, lanterns, or campfires are expected.
  • Gonna expand on this mod by slowly adding compat to other mods and adding new mechanics to keep torches, lanterns and campfires lit longer/indefinite

Dependencies

• Required: Fabric API, Cloth Config
• Optional: LambDynamicLights, Sodium Dynamic Lights
