What torch keeps mobs away?

In vanilla Minecraft, Torches (light level 15) and Soul Torches (light level 10) keep most mobs away by preventing spawning in light levels 7 and below, but require dense placement; for modded Minecraft, powerful options like Mega Torches, Magnum Torches, or Interdiction Torches offer huge or even projectile-blocking radii, while Wither Torches stop spawns without visible light.

Yes, torches effectively keep most hostile mobs away in Minecraft by increasing light levels, preventing them from spawning in brightly lit areas (light level 8+), though you need careful placement (around 12 blocks apart) and must remember they don't deter all mobs like slimes or stop already spawned mobs from pathfinding to you, unless it's an "Interdiction Torch".

What will mobs not walk over?

In Minecraft, mobs generally avoid blocks that are partially transparent, less than a full block high (like bottom slabs), or create an impassable barrier in their AI, such as carpets over string or other carpets, open trapdoors, rails (sometimes), and soul sand/honey blocks (which slow them down), though some, like spiders, can still pass certain obstacles like carpets. They treat some of these as air or unsafe terrain, preventing them from pathfinding across them, making them great for mob-proofing areas.

How far do torches stop mobs from spawning?

In Minecraft, torches stop hostile mobs from spawning by keeping light levels above 7; since a torch provides light level 14 and it drops by one per block, you need torches close enough so no floor block is more than 6 blocks from a light source, often meaning placing them about every 7-13 blocks apart in a grid for flat areas, but this distance shrinks to every 3-4 blocks diagonally or when torches are high up, ensuring every spot has light level 8 or higher for true spawn-proofing.

Does putting torches around a spawner work?

Yes, placing torches (or other light sources) around a monster spawner in Minecraft stops most mobs from spawning by raising the light level in the 9x3x9 area, but putting a torch directly on the spawner block itself only works if the mob type needs a low light level (like Zombies/Skeletons, requiring light level 0 or 1 to stop), while others (Blazes/Silverfish) need much higher light levels (12+) that a single torch can't reach, making it better to light the whole area up to prevent spawns, notes the Minecraft Wiki and several Reddit threads.

Do gold boots protect you from piglins?

Yes, wearing gold boots (or any gold armor piece) makes standard piglins neutral and prevents them from attacking you in the Nether, making them great for exploring, but you must not mine gold ore or open chests around them, or they'll get hostile; however, gold boots offer very low protection compared to iron, so they're best for avoiding fights, not tanking them.
