FlashLight Mod
by lglari
FlashLight Mod gives the player a handheld light that casts a moving beam, for dark caves and nights in survival and adventure play.
What it does
Holding the flashlight lights the area in front of the player, which helps with mining, building and finding the way through unlit places. The beam follows the player's view and moves smoothly rather than in stepped jumps. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Fabric and Forge, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is released as All rights reserved.
Key features
Handheld flashlight

Smooth dynamic beam
The light beam moves fluidly with the player's view, without the jerky animation found in some lighting mods.
Shadow-free exploration
The beam reveals nearby blocks and mobs in caves and at night, making it easier to keep track of the route.
