I have burnt out torches on my walls?
Do they burn out?
How do you get torches that DO NOT burn out?
Is there a mod that stops them burning out?

I really dont want to have to replace torches all the time..can I disable this feature?

If you are using my more_fire mod yes they will, you can change this behavior by editing the config.txt file in the mod directory to have finite torches be false.

Thanks, I just figured it was part of Minetest.

Nope, I did that to encourage people to make the oil lanterns which just need lantern oil but don't burn out.

I just made an oil lantern and it lit up without the need for oil?
Also any idea how to turn off torch damage when using the 3D Armor Mod?

{"default:torch", 1, 1},

and make it look like this to stop torches hurting:

--{"default:torch", 1, 1},

Btw, Casimir`s stoneage mod also has the burning out torches feature (and other fun "annoying" stuff), still like this. As well as the more_fire models. :)

Oil lanterns will always lit up a little bit, I think I set it to one, putting oil in the lantern will make it brighter, again assuming your using the more_fire mod.

How do you put oil in them?
They have no UI.

I think then that you must not be using the more_fire mod, or are using a very outdated version of it. The lamps in my mod look like this.

I downloaded the ZIP from your Mods thread, and my lamps dont look like that.

EDIT - I just grabbed the DEV version and now the lamps are correct, I think you need to update your DL link in your thread.

I will check that in the morning.

I agree Nathan's option,"Torches burn out" is a good idea.it will make mt more fun to think about how to balance the source and usage.not only for creative, but also try to live a real life in mt.

it's a challenge for me,and make me exciting.i have think about to edit all lanterns's code to work like this.so i can change and mentain my house or someplace.
