Torch Time

A Vintage Story mod that displays the remaining burn time when hovering over placed torches.

Features

• Shows real-time remaining burn time in the torch tooltip

How It Works

Torch Time uses Harmony to patch Block.GetPlacedBlockInfo() at runtime, adding burn time information to the tooltip of lit torches. Since the game only updates burn state periodically, the mod interpolates the actual remaining time using elapsed game time for a smooth countdown display.
