    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.
