Useful Lanterns

This mod adds a Trinket slot called the "Lantern Slot" that let's you put a lantern on your hip which renders on your character with dynamic lighting and very cool physics.

Dependencies

This mod requires Trinkets to function.

For it to emit light LambDynamicLights is required.

For the in-game config screen you need to install Mod Menu and Fzzy Config. Otherwise you need to manually edit the file config/usefullanterns/config.toml.

Currently you can configure which side the lantern is on with the Lantern On Right Side config value and also the Scale value of the lantern.

Mod Compatibility

But don't worry, you can easily add your own mod compatibility with just a single datapack. By editing the tag data/trinkets/tags/items/legs/lantern.json you can make any lantern work with Useful Lanterns!

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "myfavoritemod:cute_lantern",
    "myfavoritemod:cool_lantern"
  ]
}

The "replace": false is really necessary here, since if you overwrite the default tag none of the lanterns this mod supports will work. Yes, not even the vanilla ones.

Credits

The renderer of this mod is written with the help of Claude AI but the mod logo and the description is entirely made by me, so is the other classes. AI is used as a tool here instead of fully relying on it.
