    About

    Hardcore Torches adds survival pressure to lighting by making torches and lanterns burn out over time, with configurable fuel durations. Torches are made with a limited amount of fuel, while lanterns are crafted empty and can be filled with an oil can; lantern fuel can come from animal fat, or coal if configured. Torches left in the rain smolder, giving almost no light while using fuel more slowly, though they can instead be set to extinguish or ignore rain. An optional setting makes newly crafted torches unlit, so players must light them with a flint and steel, a lit torch, or another configured source; lanterns are also lit with flint and steel. Other configurable rules cover whether lit lights consume fuel in your inventory and what torches drop when broken, while lanterns can be picked up without losing their fuel or lit state.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      12 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    These projects do not work together with Hardcore Torches (Fabric): their authors or the author of Hardcore Torches (Fabric) say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Hardcore Torches (Fabric), so you only need one.
