📋 About This Mod
Description
Torches will die out and fall from your hands never to be seen again after 20 - 30 minutes of active use. Craft them with a few common ingredients that are easy to find or buy. Be sure to stock up and make a bunch all at once so that you don't find yourself stuck in the dark at an inopportune moment.
The torch diagram will be added automatically if it is not already in your crafting list.
Compatibility
Compatible with everything since it does not alter any vanilla files.
Credits
This is a standalone mechanic from my overhaul. I set up the crafting aspect but the amazing menschfeind got excited about the idea of expiring torches and decided to script it himself, so very many thanks to him for getting the work done!
This mod adds craftable torches that expire after 20-30 minutes of active use, offering a realistic alternative to the game's default infinite torches. With 329 endorsements and nearly 8,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition for players seeking immersion in their alchemy and crafting gameplay.
