Wired

Outputs power 15 into dust, pistons, lamps and redstone doors. Behaves exactly like a vanilla lever — it just looks like a torch.

Wireless

Outputs nothing. Link it to one door and it opens that door through walls, from any distance, without a wire in sight.

A coloured message, a chat line and a short chime confirm whether the link took. A redstone-only door explains itself when you tap it empty-handed.

Sharing

Every player can link their own torch to the same door; all linked torches stay in sync. Links survive reloads and pack updates — they live in world dynamic properties, sharded.

Recipes: 07–10 · the four torch crafts. Power rules: Redstone & wireless.
