What it does

Flare Guns adds a gun that launches flares as a visible signal. A player crafts flare shells by filling them with a dye mix, then loads the resulting flare into the gun held in the offhand. Signalling flares can be seen at any distance, and illumination flares light up caves and emit coloured light. The mod needs Veil, which must be installed alongside it. Flare Guns runs on client and server and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1, released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Signal flares

    Launched flares are visible from any distance, letting players share a location with friends in an immersive way.

  2. Illumination flares

    Illumination flares light up dark areas such as caves and emit coloured light while they burn.

  3. Crafted flare shells

    Flare shells are crafted by filling them with a dye mix, and the result is loaded into the gun from the offhand.
