Torch Slabs Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I put a torch on a slab?
Hold a torch and right-click the top or side of a half slab block; the mod places it directly on the slab instead of the full block behind it. If it doesn't work, make sure you're aiming at the slab face itself and not the air above it.
Can I place lanterns on slabs too?
Yes, lanterns can be placed on half slabs the same way as torches. Just right-click the slab with a lantern in hand and it will attach to the slab.
Does this mod work with slabs from other mods?
Yes, Torch Slabs Mod is built to work with any half slab block, including custom slabs added by other mods. As long as the block is a proper half slab, torches and lanterns should attach to it.
Why won't my torch place on the slab?
Make sure you're targeting the slab block itself and not a full block adjacent to it, since the mod only triggers when the slab is the block you're aiming at. Also confirm the slab is actually a half slab and not a full block or stairs.
My custom torch texture isn't showing on slabs, why?
The mod uses its own separate torch model, so resource packs that only retexture the vanilla torch won't affect slab torches. You'd need a pack that overrides the mod's own torch model file to change how it looks.
Are resource packs compatible with this mod?
Basic texture packs that change vanilla torch textures generally work fine. Packs that change the torch model itself are not inherently compatible, since the mod relies on its own template model for slab torches.
Which mods is Torch Slabs Mod compatible with?
The mod lists compatibility with Druidcraft and Upgrade Aquatic, though that support depends on which game version you're running. Support gets added as those mods update to newer versions.
Can I place torches on the bottom of a slab?
Torches and lanterns attach to the slab surface you're aiming at, so placement follows the face you click. Aim carefully at the specific face where you want the light source to sit.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, it's a lightweight decoration mod that only adds placement behavior for torches and lanterns on slabs. It shouldn't have a noticeable impact on performance in normal builds.
Will more blocks besides torches and lanterns be supported later?
The mod currently supports torches and lanterns, with plans to expand to other decoration blocks in the future. For now, stick to those two when decorating slabs.
