## About<\/p>\n

Picktorch is a small client-side Fabric mod that lets you place torches from your inventory while mining. Just hold a pickaxe and right-click a block: if you have torches in your inventory, the mod will use one without making you switch away from your tool.<\/p>\n

It does not add new items, does not require installation on the server, and does not bypass server rules. Torch placement is still handled by Minecraft normally, so protection plugins, permissions, anti-cheat checks, and placement restrictions continue to work as usual.<\/p>\n

## Requirements<\/p>\n

– Fabric Loader
