Torchmaster — Guide

The Mega Torch

The Mega Torch is the centerpiece of the mod.

It defines a spawn-prevention zone - a large radius (and full vertical column by default) around the torch in which hostile mobs cannot spawn from darkness.
This means you can leave large areas unlit and still stay safe, replacing dozens or hundreds of regular torches.
Important: it blocks spawning, not movement - mobs that wander in from outside the zone, or that are spawned by spawners, are not removed. It stops the natural dark-spawn that would otherwise occur inside the radius.

Place a few Mega Torches to cover a large base; their zones can overlap for full coverage.

Craft a Mega Torch (and the other items) using the in-game recipe book - the Mega Torch uses a torch plus additional materials; the Frozen Pearl is an intermediate crafting ingredient used in some recipes.
Place the Mega Torch roughly in the center of the area you want to protect - a base, a mob-free farm zone, or an outdoor build.
From that moment, hostile spawns inside its radius are suppressed.

Dread Lamp - a more selective spawn blocker that targets specific entity types you configure, useful when you want to stop one kind of mob (or modded creature) without a blanket block.
Frozen Pearl - a crafting ingredient used in the mod's recipes (notably tied to the lamp/flame items).
Terror Flame / Feral Flame - special flame variants that provide additional, more focused spawn-control behavior for fine-tuning which creatures are kept out.

Together these let you go from a broad "no mobs here" Mega Torch to precise, per-entity control with the Dread Lamp and flames.
