Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a Glow Ink Torch?
Combine a glow ink sac with a stick in a crafting grid. The exact arrangement follows standard Minecraft torch crafting patterns, producing multiple torches per craft.
Can I place regular torches underwater?
No, regular torches will be extinguished in water. You must use Glow Ink Torches specifically, which are designed to remain lit underwater.
Do Glow Ink Torches work in flowing water?
Yes, Glow Ink Torches can be placed in both water sources and flowing water, making them ideal for illuminating streams, waterfalls, and moving water features.
How do I mount torches on stairs and slabs?
Place a Glow Ink Torch on the side of a bottom slab or stair block. The torch will attach to the side surface, allowing creative lighting arrangements in tight spaces.
Will lava destroy my Glow Ink Torches?
By default, yes—Glow Ink Torches are destroyed when exposed to lava. However, this behavior can be toggled off in the mod's configuration settings if you prefer indestructible torches.
Do Glow Ink Torches provide the same light level as regular torches?
Glow Ink Torches provide underwater illumination comparable to regular torches on land, cutting through water darkness to light up your aquatic builds.
Can I place Glow Ink Torches on top of blocks like normal torches?
Yes, Glow Ink Torches function like regular torches on solid blocks—you can place them on top of any solid surface in addition to placing them in water or on slab/stair sides.
What happens if I place a Glow Ink Torch next to lava on land?
If lava destruction is enabled, the torch will be destroyed when lava flows into its space or if placed adjacent to active lava sources, depending on the mod's configuration.
Do Glow Ink Torches require glow ink sacs from the Nether?
Yes, you need glow ink sacs, which drop from glowing squids found in the Overworld's deeper water biomes and caves.
Can I use Glow Ink Torches in the Nether or End?
Yes, Glow Ink Torches work in all dimensions, though their primary advantage is underwater lighting in the Overworld and other water-filled environments.
