Brings realistic/hardcore mechanics to torches, candles, lanterns, campfires, and jack o' lanterns in a configurable way.

Designed to fit into Minecraft's lore as closely as possible, while providing a more challenging early game experience and encouraging players to use powered, magical, and bioluminescent light sources.
An open source mod built for Fabric (works on Quilt, too). Requires Fabric API and owo-lib. For more in-depth information regarding the project, read the wiki 📖.
Inspired by Realistic Torches, thank you MattCzyr!
Should work with most mods that don't modify torches, lanterns, campfires, candles, and jack o' lanterns in an intrusive way.
Officially available at CurseForge, Modrinth, and GitHub.
