PrismTorch

Light that decides what gets to spawn. PrismTorch adds a set of colored torches that each stop one specific category of mob from spawning within a configurable radius — plus a rainbow Master Torch that blocks them all.

Perfect for keeping your base, farms, builds, or event areas mob-free without ugly slab-spam or command-block hacks. Every torch is craftable, works in survival, and is fully configurable.

✨ Features

8 category torches — each blocks a different group of mobs.
Master Torch — a rainbow-flamed torch that blocks every category at once.
Configurable radius — set a horizontal radius and vertical range per category (it works as a cylinder), or set a radius to 0 to disable a type entirely.
Standing & wall variants — place them on the floor or mount them on a wall, tilted just like a vanilla torch.
Animated, glowing flames — each torch has its own colored flame with rising particles; the Master Torch cycles through the whole spectrum. Flames stay fully lit even in the dark.
Themed recipes — every torch is crafted from a vanilla torch plus ingredients that fit its theme.
Nether Star Block — compress 9 nether stars into a block (and back); used to craft the Master Torch.
In-game info — hover any torch to see what it blocks and its current radius.
Advancements included.
FTB Ranks & LuckPerms compatible out of the box.

🔦 The Torches

Torch	Blocks
Hostile	All hostile monsters (zombies, skeletons, creepers, …)
Wandering Trader	Wandering traders & trader llamas
Animal	Passive animals (cows, pigs, sheep, …)
Phantom & Bat	Phantoms and bats
Warden	The Warden
Guardian	Guardians & Elder Guardians
Iron Golem	Naturally spawned Iron Golems
Fish & Squid	Fish, squid and other water mobs
Master ⭐	Everything above, all at once

Player-made spawns (spawn eggs, breeding, buckets, player-built golems, …) are always allowed — the torches only stop unwanted natural spawns.

⚙️ Configuration

A config file (prismtorch-common.toml) lets you set, per category:

radius — horizontal radius in blocks
verticalRadius — how far up/down the torch reaches
and a global toggle for whether mob spawners are blocked too

🧾 Commands & Permissions

/prismtorch info — lists every category's active radius.
/prismtorch show — draws particle rings around nearby torches so you can see the exact area each one protects.

Both commands respect the permission nodes prismtorch.command.info and prismtorch.command.show, resolved through LuckPerms or FTB Ranks if installed (with sensible defaults if neither is present).

📦 Requirements

NeoForge (Minecraft 26.1.2)

No hard dependencies — LuckPerms / FTB Ranks are optional and only used for permissions if you have them.
