Torch & Timber

Useful vanilla-friendly upgrades. More control. The Minecraft feel you already love.

Torch & Timber is a quality-of-life mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 on Fabric. It brings practical improvements to everyday survival—organizing items, gathering resources, managing crops, recovering after death, and tuning gameplay details—without turning Minecraft into a completely different game.
