Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a throwable torch?
Place two normal torches together in the crafting grid to create one throwable torch. This recipe trades quantity for convenience—you'll use fewer torches overall since thrown ones can be recovered and reused.
What happens when I throw a torch?
Right-click while holding a throwable torch to launch it. The torch travels in an arc and automatically places itself on the first solid surface it hits, lighting up that spot instantly.
Can I use redstone torches with this mod?
Yes, you can craft throwable redstone torches the same way as normal ones. Thrown redstone torches are useful for activating traps or contraptions from a distance without needing to place them manually.
Do thrown torches disappear or can I pick them up?
Thrown torches stay placed where they land and can be broken and collected like normal torches, allowing you to reuse them multiple times.
What's the best way to explore a cave system with this mod?
Throw torches ahead as you move deeper to light your path progressively. This is faster than placing torches by hand and lets you mark your route clearly for the return journey.
Can I throw torches through water or lava?
Thrown torches will place on solid blocks they hit; they cannot be placed on liquid surfaces, so you'll need to find a solid spot nearby to light up areas surrounded by water or lava.
Do thrown torches work on all block types?
Torches place on any surface where normal torches would normally work—solid blocks, the sides of blocks, and certain specialized surfaces—following standard Minecraft torch placement rules.
Is there a limit to how many throwable torches I can carry?
Throwable torches stack like normal torches, so you're limited only by your inventory space and stack size.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance issues; thrown torches behave like regular placed torches once they land.
Can I throw torches while moving or falling?
Yes, you can throw torches while moving, jumping, or falling, making it easy to light up your surroundings even during active exploration or combat.
