About Light Machine
From ModrinthAutomate torching up your world!
🌟 Light Machine
An autonomous, radius-wide torch placer for painless spawn-proofing.
What It Does
- Adds a single new block: the Light Machine.
- Light Machine scans for blocks with a light level ≤ 4 in a 512-block radius (horizontal & vertical).
- When it finds a dark spot, it automatically places one of its own torches there.
> Perfect for lighting vast caves, open fields, or entire bases without manual labor.
Inventory & Torch Supply
| Capacity | Accepted Item | Behavior when Empty | |----------|---------------|---------------------| | 9 Slots | Vanilla torch item | Machine pauses until torches are supplied |
Torches are consumed one-for-one as they are placed—no duplicates, no infinity.
How to Use
- Craft the Light Machine.
- Place the block in the world.
- Open its GUI and load torches into any slot.
- Walk away—the machine quietly lights up the darkness around you over time.
Ideal For
- 100 % spawn-proof bases and farms
- Hassle-free cave illumination before mining
- Server administrators who want safer spawn areas without world-editing
Happy lighting, and goodbye to surprise creepers! 💡
