Exploring caves is always a blast and can be dangerous, but leaving a trail of torches behind you keeps those creatures of darkness from sneaking up behind you. What this mod does is causes torches to slowly become dimmer as time passes, eventually going out completely after about 12 minecraft hours. When becoming dimmer, the torch now has 4 levels of brightness.
Even notch wants torches eventually going out to be added to the game, but this functionality has not been implemented yet. Mods like this have come out before, I did not see any that were available for Beta 1.6.6. I intend on updating this mod to 1.7 as soon as the tools needed for me to do so are updated.
Thanks a lot for trying out my mod, I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is greatly appreciated.
A fun way to see how this mod can change the game is to start a new world without immediate access to infinite sources of light, and seeing how much more dangerous the world becomes when it's so much harder to keep the darkness away.
One more thing, hope you aren't afraid of the dark!
