⏳ Impatient Torch
Why wait? Speed up your blocks and entities!
📖 About the Mod
Inspired by the classic Torchorino, Impatient Torch adds special torches that increase the tick speed of nearby blocks and entities. Whether you are waiting for crops to grow, furnaces to smelt, or machines to process, these torches will get the job done faster.
Support: NeoForge & Forge (1.21.1)
🔥 The Torches
The mod features distinct types of torches to suit your needs.
- Time Torches (Standard)
These torches accelerate the tick rate of blocks (like the Farming Block, furnaces, and hoppers) and block entities within their range.
- Redstone Control: As of version 0.1.2+, you can now turn these torches OFF using a Redstone signal!
- Visuals: Recently updated flame sprites for a better look.
- Mob Torches (New!)
Introduced in v0.1.2, these torches specifically target entities.
- ⚔️ Hostile Mob Torch: Increases spawn/tick rates for hostile mobs.
- 🐷 Passive Mob Torch: Increases spawn/tick rates for passive animals.
- Configurable Spawns: You can adjust the spawn rate logic in the config.
📏 Tiers & Ranges
Torches come in multiple sub-tiers (sizes) to fit different base layouts.
- Mini: Covers a small area.
- Small: Covers a 5x5 area.
- Medium: Covers a 7x7 area.
- Normal: Covers a 9x9 area.
Note: There are also Compressed versions and Wall-Mounted variants available!
⚙️ Configuration & Commands
Impatient Torch offers a powerful in-game configuration system.
In-Game Config UI: Use the command /impatient openconfig to open a GUI where you can:
