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.
