A torch now burns in your hand or planted in the world, with firelight, smoke, cinders and embers that fade when you put it out. With a flint knife and a hunting knife in your pack, press R to light or snuff the torch you hold. Shift and R plants it on the ground within reach; empty your hands and press E to take it back. A new torch carries thirty minutes of fuel. Old empty torches in a saved world need replacing with a fresh one.
It looks like a real torch too. The flame is small, with crisp tongues, a faint soft glow, smoke and many small sparks: yellow orange with gray smoke by day, deeper orange at night. The charcoal crown reads lit gray in sunlight and black with glowing cracks in the dark, and the light reaches much further into the trees than it did.
