Torch Arrow+

Torch Arrow+ adds a simple utility arrow that places a real vanilla torch when fired into a valid surface, making it easy to light distant caves, ravines, walls, and hard-to-reach areas.

Showcasing the torch arrow and using them

Description

Torch Arrow+ is a lightweight Fabric mod that adds a practical new ammunition type for exploration: the Torch Arrow.

Torch Arrows can be fired from bows like normal arrows, but when one strikes a suitable block surface, it places a real vanilla torch at the point of impact. This makes it much easier to illuminate large caves, dark ravines, distant ledges, and other places that would normally require climbing or bridging just to place a light.

The mod is designed to feel simple and natural alongside vanilla Minecraft rather than turning archery into a complicated new system.

Features

  • Adds the new Torch Arrow
  • Works as normal bow ammunition
  • Places a real vanilla torch on valid surfaces
  • Places properly oriented wall torches when fired into walls
  • Useful for lighting distant cave walls, ravines, ledges, and large caverns
  • Torch Arrows still behave like projectiles when fired
  • Failed placement does not overwrite or destroy existing blocks
  • Designed to fit naturally into vanilla-style survival gameplay
  • Lightweight and focused without unnecessary extra content

Supported Versions

  • Minecraft Fabric 1.20.1
  • Minecraft Fabric 1.21.1
  • Minecraft Fabric 26.2

Each version is built separately. Install the file made specifically for your Minecraft version.

Requirements

  • Fabric Loader
  • Fabric API

Torch Arrow+ requires the mod to be installed on the server and client for multiplayer use, since torch placement is handled by the server.

Torch Arrow+ does not support Forge or NeoForge.
