✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just torches acting like campfires
- Decent community traction (80 endorsements, 4,827 downloads)
- Recently updated (September 2025), so likely works with current game version
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal—only useful if you specifically want torch/campfire consistency
- No documentation on what 'behave like a campfire' means exactly (light radius? heat? cooking?)
For survival-crafting players who want torches to function more like campfires, whether for light, heat, or cooking mechanics. Skip if you're happy with vanilla torch behavior or want broader gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game has EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) enabled—if so, you may need to disable it for mods to work.
- Since the mod affects multiple torch types, test in a new world or backup your save to avoid surprises.
- Look for config files in the mod folder—some simple mods allow tweaking values like light radius.
