Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a colored torch?
Place a torch and a dye of your chosen color in a crafting grid together. The result is a torch in that dye's color, which functions identically to a regular torch but with your selected hue.
Do Colored Torches give off the same amount of light as regular torches?
Yes, colored torches emit the same light level as vanilla torches regardless of their color. The color is purely visual and does not affect brightness or light mechanics.
Can I use Colored Torches in the Nether and End?
Yes, colored torches work in all dimensions just like regular torches. They can be placed on any block that accepts a vanilla torch.
What happens if I place a colored torch in water?
Colored torches will extinguish when placed in water, the same way regular torches do. You'll need to place them on solid blocks above water level.
Can I convert a regular torch into a colored torch?
No, you must craft colored torches from scratch using a torch and dye. There is no conversion recipe for existing torches.
Do Colored Torches work with redstone?
Colored torches do not interact with redstone mechanics. They are purely decorative and function identically to regular torches in all technical aspects.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Colored Torches Mod is lightweight and adds only visual variants of existing blocks, so it should have minimal impact on performance even with many torches placed.
Can I use Colored Torches with other mods?
Colored Torches Mod is compatible with most other mods since it only adds simple block variants. Check mod compatibility lists if you're using mods that heavily modify lighting or block behavior.
How many colored torch variants are there?
There are 16 colored torch types, one for each dye color available in Minecraft. You can create a torch in any dye color you have access to.
Can I use Colored Torches to mark paths or territories?
Yes, colored torches are ideal for marking routes, building zones, or team areas since each color is visually distinct. Many players use them to create organized color-coded systems throughout their bases.
