About: Have you ever had a torch in your off-hand while eating food or using a tool, and then accidentally place your torches all over the place? The "Stop Off-Hand Torch Placement" mod is a simple yet effective solution for Minecraft players who want more control over their torch placement mechanics. With this mod, you can prevent unintentional placement of torches when using your off-hand slot, ensuring a smoother and more intentional gameplay experience.

 

Use: Currently, the mod achieves this by toggling the game rule called "Off-hand Torch Toggle" to false. However, as Minecraft evolves, this functionality is anticipated to become standard behavior, with off-hand torch placement being disabled by default. When creating your world, just go to the "More" tab and under the "Player" section you can find the game rule:
