Realistic Torches – Burntime

Realistic Torches

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

Features

Burn Times

• Torches, lanterns, and campfires now burn out after a configurable time.

Environment Effects

• Rain and water can extinguish light sources, with customizable multipliers.

Reignition System

• Define custom igniters via JSON (e.g. flint & steel, matches, blaze rods) to relight extinguished torches, lanterns, and campfires.

Fueling System

• Use JSON-defined fuels (like coal or sticks) to extend the burn time of campfires, lanterns, and torches.

Highly Configurable

• All mechanics (burn times, extinguish behavior, dynamic lighting support) are toggleable in the config.

Data-Driven

• Custom igniters and fuels are loaded from data/torchesbt/ignite/ and data/torchesbt/fuel/, allowing easy modpack or server customization without code.

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.

• NOTES:
• This mod is in a very early alpha state. 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

• BRIEF ROADMAP
• Add compat with hanging lanterns
• Add general item/block generation for common torch/lanterns using my default unlit variants.
• Consider whether the burntime bar should be reintroduced in the UI instead of item.
• Figure out not so busted mechanic that lets items/blocks get refueled automatically (somewhere near mid/end game)
