TorchMaster Mod FAQ

Craft a Mega Torch first, since it's the simplest light source that blocks hostile spawns. Place it down and right-click it to open its config screen, where you can toggle the spawn-blocking on or off and see its working radius.

Right-click the placed block to open its GUI. From there you can toggle whether it prevents hostile mob spawning, and the change applies immediately.

It blocks hostile spawning in a spherical area centered on the torch, so it does reach downward into caves within that radius. If your base sits above deep caves, place additional torches lower down to cover them.

All three prevent hostile mob spawning over an area, but they differ in appearance, coverage shape, and how they're crafted. The Mega Torch is the basic option, the Dread Lamp is the more decorative/compact choice, and the Feral Flare Lantern is meant for wide-area control.

Check that the torch is actually enabled in its GUI, and remember that it only blocks natural hostile spawns — mobs spawned by spawners, eggs, or events still appear. Also make sure the spawn area is inside the torch's radius, not just near it.

No. Spawners, spawn eggs, and scripted/event spawns ignore the spawn-blocking effect. Only natural hostile mob spawning is prevented.

Frozen Pearls are a crafting ingredient used in TorchMaster recipes, including the Dread Lamp and Feral Flare Lantern. You obtain them through the mod's own crafting or processing chain rather than from vanilla mobs.

Yes, it's generally compatible with other mods since it only suppresses natural hostile spawning in its radius. If another mod forces spawns through its own logic, those spawns may still occur.

Each active light source checks its area for spawn attempts, so placing many of them in one area can add up. Keep coverage efficient by spacing them to cover your base rather than stacking them.

Yes, break the block with any tool and it drops as an item you can place again. Its on/off setting resets when replaced, so re-check the GUI after moving it.
