Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a magnum torch?
Craft them at a crafting table using a torch surrounded by the matching gem material—amethyst, diamond, or emerald—depending on which variant you want. The gem tier determines the torch's appearance and the size of its spawn-blocking radius.
What does a magnum torch actually do?
It prevents hostile mobs from spawning within a large radius around it, similar to how a vanilla torch suppresses spawns in a smaller area. It does not kill or remove mobs that already exist—it only blocks new spawns.
Which magnum torch has the biggest radius?
The three variants—Amethyst, Diamond, and Emerald—each cover a different radius, with the higher-tier gem torches covering more ground. Check the in-game tooltip or the wiki's block pages for the exact range of each variant.
Why are mobs still spawning near my magnum torch?
Magnum torches only block natural hostile spawns—mobs from spawners, raids, or scripted events ignore them. Also make sure the torch is actually placed and loaded; an unloaded chunk won't suppress anything.
