Minecraft Forum - Source Code - Issue Tracker

Realistic Torches makes early gameplay more difficult by causing torches to burn out after a configurable amount of time, encouraging players to move toward more permanent light sources early on.

Features

Torches will burn out after a configurable amount of time (60 minutes real time by default)
Torches are extinguished when rained on
Torches generated in vanilla structures will be replaced by unlit torches
Permanently lit torches can be crafted using glowstone
Naturally light-emitting blocks and items will emit light when held (pre-1.14.4)
