Offhand Torch is a Bedrock addon that puts a torch, lantern or other light source into your offhand slot, something Bedrock normally refuses to do from the inventory. It is built for Minecraft 26.50 and runs on Bedrock only. Your main hand stays free for tools and weapons while the light follows you.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 26.50.
What it adds
The addon does one job and does it without commands or menus. Dynamic lighting travels with you, so a cave stays lit while you mine or fight. It handles every placeable light item, not only torches.
