Torch Bandolier Mod 1.18.1/1.16.5/1.12.2 has thrown into the game a new item that can store a large number of torches. Not only that, the object can place them easily.

Torch Bandolier Features
The addition is pretty similar to the one from Silent’s Gems 2.
How to craft
(1.14.x) The recipe allows you to create an empty torch bandolier. Generate an empty bandolier with a supported torch to set the kind. The mod assists vanilla torches and Silent Gear stone torches by default. Mods could add extra types. Feasible torch bandoliers and recipes should display in JEI. Fully empty a torch bandolier to reset and turn it into an empty tool.
(1.12.2) Aids only vanilla torches. It’s unessential to set the type.
How to place
Right-click as if you were wielding a stack of torches. It’ll put down a torch. If you’re in Creative Mode, you cannot consume any torch.
How to extract
(1.14.x) Place the bandolier in a crafting grid to extract torches.
(1.12.2) Sneak and left-click to throw out a bunch of torches.
How to auto-fill
Bandoliers will sometimes rummage player’s inventory to find torches and to absorb.
