The Pickaxes Place Torches
Right‑click with a pickaxe places torches from your utility slot for faster cave lighting.
Pros
- + Huge convenience boost for mining and spelunking
- + Uses the utility slot so your hotbar stays free
- + Minimal, focused change that’s easy to understand
Cons
- - Overrides the default pickaxe right‑click interaction
- - May conflict with other mods that bind pickaxe interactions
The Pickaxes Place Torches (Hytale) — Review
This is a tiny quality-of-life mod with an outsized impact on cave exploration. It replaces the default pickaxe right‑click behavior with an action that places torches—pulled from your utility slot.
Why it’s nice
- Keep mining without constantly swapping items
- Light tunnels quickly to reduce mob surprises
- Keeps your hotbar cleaner by leaning on the utility slot
What changes
The mod intentionally overrides the pickaxe right‑click interaction. If you rely on the default interaction (or another mod does), you’ll want to test compatibility.
Who should install it
- Survival players who do long mining sessions
- Servers that want small “comfort” improvements without new systems
Verdict
If you spend time underground, this mod is an easy win—just remember it rewires a core input, so check how it feels with your playstyle.
