Torch Slabs Renewed

A maintained, updated port of the original Torch Slabs Mod for Minecraft 1.20.1+ (Forge).

Vanilla torches, lanterns, candles and more were never meant to sit on slabs, hang under ledges or rest on lily pads — until now. This mod lets you place your existing vanilla light items in dozens of spots the base game won't allow, with no new items to craft: just right-click with the vanilla item.

✨ What you can do

Torches & Soul Torches

• Stand them on top of bottom slabs and stairs.
• Hang them under the underside of slabs (both top and bottom slabs), pointing down like a ceiling torch. (New!)
• Place them on the sides of slabs and stairs, snapping to the top or bottom half depending on where you're aiming.
• Place them on lily pads.

Lanterns & Soul Lanterns

• Sit them on top of bottom slabs and stairs, or hang them under top slabs/stairs.
• Place them on the sides of solid blocks, slabs, stairs, fences and walls. (Walls are new!)
• On block sides they snap to the upper or lower half based on where you look.
• Place them on lily pads.

Candles (all 17 dye colors)

• Place them on top of bottom slabs, stairs and lily pads, and stack up to 4 like vanilla candles.

End Rods

• Place them on slabs, standing up or hanging down, and stack them into pillars.

Chains

• Run them on top of, under and through slabs, hanging and linking together. (Now enabled!)

⚙️ Configuration

A server config (torchslabs-server.toml) lets you fine-tune everything:

• Toggle lanterns on block sides and on the lower half of blocks.
• Toggle torches on the upper half of wall blocks.
• Disable hanging torches under slabs/stairs entirely. (New!)
• Interactive-block list — blocks (crafting table, furnace, doors, shulker boxes, etc.) that require sneak-clicking so you don't open their GUI by accident. Fully customizable.

🔗 Mod compatibility

• Any modded slabs, stairs, walls and fences work automatically, as long as they extend vanilla SlabBlock / StairBlock / WallBlock / FenceBlock.
• Amendments — Torch Slabs steps aside for lanterns so Amendments' lantern physics keep working. Toggleable in the config.
• Supplementaries — Torch Slabs steps aside for lanterns; Supplementaries' own lights (candle holders, sconces) already place on and under slabs natively. Toggleable in the config.

📌 Notes

• Soul Torches and Soul Lanterns share every ability with their normal counterparts.
• This build targets Forge 1.20.1+. For older versions, use the original mod.
• No new items or recipes — everything uses the vanilla items you already have.
