Glow Torches

Glow Torches is a lightweight and vanilla-friendly mod that adds waterproof torches to Minecraft. The titular Glow Torches can be crafted with Glow Ink Sacs and function just like regular torches, except that they can be placed underwater!

They're not quite as bright as regular torches, having a light level of 12, but they have a unique appearance and sparkle nicely. And since Glow Squids can be difficult to find, this mod also adds a recipe to combine regular Ink Sacs with Glowstone Dust to create Glow Ink Sacs.

Currently, this mod is only for NeoForge and Minecraft versions 1.21 and 1.21.1.
