Better Torches

Better Torches is a simple quality-of-life mod that gives torches an extra purpose beyond lighting. When you're within 8 blocks of any torch (regular or wall-mounted), you'll receive a Speed I effect that makes movement feel smoother and more efficient.

Features

  • Speed Boost Near Torches: Get Speed I when standing within 8 blocks of any torch
  • Works with All Torches: Both regular torches and wall torches provide the effect
  • Clean Implementation: The effect has no visible particles, keeping your screen clutter-free
  • Performance Friendly: Checks run once per second to minimize performance impact
  • No Configuration Needed: Works out of the box with sensible defaults

Why This Mod?

Torches are one of the most common blocks you'll place in Minecraft, but they only serve one purpose: light. This mod gives them a secondary benefit that rewards you for lighting up your world properly. Whether you're mining, building, or just navigating your base, you'll notice the difference.
