📖About Kaizen Torches

Kaizen Torches

A Minecraft Paper plugin that allows players to upgrade torches with ores to create mob-spawn blocking zones with stunning particle effects.

Features

  • Torch Upgrades: Upgrade regular torches with Iron, Gold, Emerald, Amethyst, or Diamond to increase the mob-blocking radius
  • Mob Spawn Blocking: Prevents hostile mobs from spawning within the torch's radius (works in 3D sphere, underground included)
  • Beautiful Particles: Glowing sphere particles with firework effects show the protected area
  • Soul Torch Support: Works with both regular and soul torches
  • Configurable: Fully customizable radius, particle counts, and behavior
  • Protection: Kaizen torches cannot be moved by pistons and drop their upgrade material when destroyed

Installation

  1. Download the latest release
  2. Place the JAR file in your server's plugins folder
  3. Restart or reload your server
  4. Configuration files will be created in plugins/kaizen/kaizen-torches/

Usage

Upgrading Torches

  1. Place a regular torch (or soul torch)
  2. Right-click the torch while holding an upgrade material:
    • Iron Ingot → 8 block radius (gray particles)
    • Gold Ingot → 12 block radius (gold particles)
    • Emerald → 16 block radius (green particles)
    • Amethyst Shard → 20 block radius (purple particles)
    • Diamond → 24 block radius (cyan particles)

You can upgrade directly to any tier (no need to go through each level).

Toggle Particles

  • Shift + Right-click (empty hand) on a Kaizen torch to toggle radius particles on/off
  • The torch glow particles always remain visible to identify upgraded torches

Breaking Torches

When you break a Kaizen torch, the upgrade material is dropped back.
