Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.1, outdated):
ColoredTorchesRedux_1.2.1.zip  1-click install

(Original code from Colored torches but updated to v1.20, all props go to Kigra)

Recipes are still the same

Created torch Ingredient bottom Ingredient top
Red torch Torch Bonemeal
Orange torch Torch Lime
Yellow torch Torch Salt
Green torch Torch Powdered borax
Cyan torch Torch Crushed alum
Blue torch Torch Crushed copper
Purple torch Torch Potash
Pink torch Torch Saltpeter

To make crushed copper you need a Pulverizer and some native copper ores (not polished) :)

 

Changes:

  • As an extra I added a bit more time for each torch when you add the colorizer to the torch, so that you have some incentive to use colored torches in the game. Torches will now burn for 72 hours instead of 48 hours, and burn indefinitely when on a torch holder

Make it compatible with latest v1.19.3

 

Changelog

  • Removed cloth and crude torches, as they only make sense in creative mode and were not craftable, but would still appear in the tooltips.
  • Fixed torch holder gulping up any item you put in it and made it a regular torch. (Thanks @dotyerts)

I'll try to come up with a patch for it! Thanks for reporting! :) BradleySquiggle

So I love this mod but I use a mod called "Expanded Matter" by Tels & Phiwa. I am reaching out as they change the games crushed ores and powders and now the torches cannot be coloured due to this.

ShamblerDK yes, the cast light is the proper color. However the blue is a bit on the darker side of the spectrum (same as real life) so it will not light as much. :)

Wait, will the cast light from the torches actually be the proper color? In modded Minecraft you can also add a lot of colored lights, but it's limited to the block itself since the cast light will always be white.

Thanks dotyerts! It's fixed in the latest release, added you in the changelog to thank you for the report :)

Bug Report.

By right clicking any torch holder with any item, it will turn that item into a torch. This means steel pickaxes, food, etc.
