Auto Torch -----
automatically places a torch when a player walks through a dark areaAutoTorch – Your smart companion in the dark
Ever been tired of constantly placing torches while exploring caves or mining? With AutoTorch, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. This lightweight plugin automatically places a torch when a player walks through a dark area – as long as they have one in their inventory.
It works seamlessly in the background: If the light level drops below a certain threshold (default is 7 or lower), and the player has walked at least 5 blocks since the last placed torch, one will be placed automatically – provided the ground is solid and the spot is air.
One unique feature of AutoTorch is the optional timed despawn of the placed torches. This can be enabled or disabled in the configuration. Set a delay (e.g., 5 seconds), and the plugin will remove the placed torch again – perfect for players who want temporary lighting without permanently modifying the terrain.
Configuration
AutoTorch creates a simple and clean config.yml on first startup:
Values can be adjusted at any time. A restart or reload is required to apply changes.
Technical Details
Why AutoTorch?
AutoTorch is built for players who enjoy a survival-friendly or immersive gameplay style but still appreciate a bit of convenience. It feels like a natural extension of Minecraft – no commands, no GUI, just clean automatic functionality. Install it, and it works out of the box.
If you enjoy this plugin or have suggestions, feel free to reach out or leave a review. Your support is always appreciated!
