Candles Forever

The new candles are cool but not perfect. Make them better by never letting them burn out.

By TastyChickenLegs and TCL-MODS

  • Never let the candles burn out
  • Control the size and have different sizes. Small and Tall On and Off
  • Set the size of each candle individually - a candle's size follows its fuel level: fuel 3 is tall, fuel 2 is small
  • Turn any candle off and back on without losing the fuel it already has
  • Choose to ignore rain and keep them lit

Choosing a candle's size

Look at a candle and press Left Alt (rebindable) to cycle it:

Off -> On -> Tall -> Small -> back to Off

  • Off - the flame goes out, but the candle keeps its fuel so you can relight it
  • On - the candle burns down on its own, exactly as vanilla
  • Tall / Small - the candle is held at that size and never burns out

The setting is stored on the candle itself, so two candles side by side can be different sizes, and it survives saving, reloading and multiplayer.

Hover text shows which mode a candle is in and which key changes it.
