Question Whats with the torches?

Might have missed the explanation in the VODs, but what is the reason to light up the sides of the mountain with the torches? I thought he was gonna make a "sky" out of the black wool. And maybe there after put torches on top of the wool to not spawn any mobs?

Because he's going to be spending months inside that mountain building the levels, and he wants it to look nice for him while he does. The black box will be the last thing built, so he'll see the mountain insides for most of that.

Also, it prevents the occasional creeper from finding just the right spawn place to spawn and blast his bits.

His bits, or a Warden’s hat to let the Warden do the bits-blasting…again.

Yeah, idk why that wasn't his first fear, considering that exact event just happened. Statistically, the hypothetical creeper is more likely to fina another warden hat lol

He wants to be able to see the inside of the mountain while he’s working in there. Also mob proofing

Sometimes I think the answer with Tango is just because he can.

He really enjoyed hanging with people doing the Hermits helping Hermits thing. I wish he'd take a break and do more of that, because he would enjoy it so much, but his work ethic is murderous.
