Auto Torch Enhanced (Fabric Client Mod)

This is a heavily improved and modernized fork of the original AutoTorch by necessary129.

Fabric API and ModMenu are required for this mod to function.

🌟 What's new in this Enhanced version?

The original mod was great, but it lacked compatibility with modern server anti-cheats and required torches to be specifically in the offhand. This version fixes all of that!

• Hotbar Support: You no longer need torches in your offhand! The mod will automatically find torches in your hotbar, switch to them in a millisecond, place the torch, and switch back to your weapon.
• Server-Friendly / Anti-Cheat Bypass:
  • Added a randomized "Humanized Delay" between torch placements.
  • Added an artificial hand-swing animation to prevent NoSwing kicks.
  • Added a Line-of-Sight (FOV) check so you don't place torches behind your back (prevents Scaffold/KillAura flags).
• Smart Placement: Raycasting prevents placing torches through walls.
• Smart Pauses: The mod will intelligently pause placing torches if you are Sneaking, Sprinting, or holding a weapon (Swords, Axes, Bows, Tridents), preventing accidental placements during combat or precision movement.
• Darkness ESP (Optional): Render a small flame particle in the center of dark blocks around you where mobs can spawn, allowing you to easily identify unlit areas.
• Adjustable Radius: Scan for dark spots horizontally and vertically before you even step on them!
• Block Blacklist & Whitelist: Prevent ruining your builds! Look at any block in-game and press a key to blacklist it so torches are never placed there. Alternatively, toggle the list in the options to act as a Whitelist.
• Anti-Torch Zones (WorldEdit Style): Use an empty hand to left/right click and define 3D exclusion zones. These are saved in your config and can be viewed/deleted via ModMenu. Perfect for big builds!
• Advanced Configuration: Fully customizable cooldowns, update ticks, and random variances directly from the ModMenu screen.

⚙️ Usage

• Simply have torches in your offhand OR anywhere in your first 9 hotbar slots.
• Press Left Alt (default) to toggle the mod on or off.
• Press B (default) while looking at a block in the world to add or remove it from the Blacklist.
• Press Z (default) to toggle the Anti-Torch Zone Selector. With an empty hand, Left Click sets Pos1 and Right Click sets Pos2. Press Shift+Z to clear all zones.
• Go to the ModMenu configuration screen to adjust the radiuses, light levels, server-friendly options, and advanced delay settings.
