Chicken Lamp
by Ghost
Chicken Lamp adds lamps built from chicken drops, and its crafting recipe places a torch beside a crafting table with raw or cooked chicken, a feather and an egg.
What it does
Chicken Lamp is a simple mod that adds a chicken lamp block to Minecraft. The lamp is crafted from a torch in the middle of a crafting table, with raw chicken, cooked chicken, a feather and an egg placed around it. Chicken coops can be turned into cozy lighting sources, so the lamp fits farms and rural builds. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server.
The mod is published for Forge only, and its files target 1.20 alone. The release file for 1.20, dated 2024-07-12, is the one the author recommends. A beta build is also listed, but it has a known problem with the lamp model, so players who want a stable result should pick the release. The MIT License covers the code, and the mod is not open source.
Chicken Lamp integrates with existing Minecraft worlds, and its lamp blocks fit into builds without changing terrain or other content. First published and last updated on 2024-07-12, the mod is listed among 915 Decoration mods with Forge files for 1.20.
