What it does

Holding an item that carries the edl:safe tag grants the Veiled effect, and the edl:water_safe tag keeps that effect active while the item is in water. Vanilla torches, soul torches, lava buckets, lanterns, soul lanterns, glowstone blocks, sea lanterns, end rods and beacons are among the lights that already carry it. Extra items can be added through data packs, and the mod runs on client and server, so both need it. Files exist for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.2 as the latest.

Key features

  1. Veiled effect for held lights

    Holding a light source tagged edl:safe in the hand gives the Veiled effect, which helps the player see in darkness.

  2. Water-safe tag

    The edl:water_safe tag keeps the Veiled effect active while the player is in water, so held lights still work there.

  3. Data pack items

    Items can be tagged in a data pack, so modded or custom lights can receive the effect without changes to the code.
