This mod lets you place torches in the world by simply right-clicking with a tool or weapon is in your main hand. So long as you have torches in your inventory, and the block you're clicking isn't interactive, a torch will be placed. Perfect for placing torches while on a long mining session, and no more needing to place torches in your off hand leaving your shield unusable.
By default it will avoid placing torches on items with a block entity (IE tile entity), such as a chest or a crafting table. The mod will also not let you place torches on farmland, or if you click using a tool that interacts with farmland blocks. If you find a block provided by another mod that accepts a torch but shouldn't, you can add a term for the block to the restricted list in the configuration, like a part of it's name. Same for farming blocks or tools from other mods, add them to the config file.
The mod looks in your inventory for vanilla, redstone or soul torches and will place them. It will not work with other modded torches at this time.
