Good for high difficulty servers
While they can be a pain in the rear they add an extra problem to be solved when playing on tough servers. How to get a permanent light?
They don't last very long (not sure if that's configurable - on every server where I've used them it seems quite short) but they can be relit with only a little hassle. Easiest makes use of the usually ignored flint & steel where you just point and click to relight a dead torch. If you collect dead torches instead they can be relit using 2 coal -> 12 coal dust & crafting.
It appears also that if the mod is added to an old world the existing torches all will burn out. Bit of a shock for old constructions expecting torches to last... : )
Oh and finally dead torches apparently still glimmer a wee bit. Luminance 1. I guess that's to help find them in the dark.
These torches are lotsa fun if you like to solve problems.
