Hardcore Torches: Enhanced

Hardcore Torches: Enhanced is a survival lighting overhaul ported to Minecraft 1.21.11 NeoForge. Built from the original Hardcore Torches mod, this enhanced version adds candles that burn out, copper torch and lantern variants matching the new 1.21.9+ vanilla copper blocks, eternal flames with glowstone dust, and countless bug fixes.

Torches, lanterns, campfires, and candles all consume fuel and extinguish over time. Manage your light or face the dark.
