Before that: Torchmaster 21.1.12 MC1.21.1 (Sep 9, 2026), Torchmaster 21.1.11 MC1.21.1 (Sep 3, 2026).
I've taken the time to completly redo the project setup, allowing me to more easily support different mod loaders (Thanks to jaredlll08 for the very useful multiloader template). Starting with MC 1.21, torchmaster will be available for neoforge and fabric.
Both versions are experimental and only rudimentary tested. Please reach out on github if you encounter any issues.
Adds a special torch which prevents mob spawning in a configurable radius.
Original idea by RWTema (Extra Utilities 1)
Note: The torch is supposed to only block "natural" spawning from low light levels. Mob Spawners should still work. I've added special handling for vanilla mob spawners. Spawners from other mods should work as well! If you find a mod that is not working with the mega torch, please open a ticket on my github repo.
