FlashLightTLG
by SemiProject
FlashLightTLG gives players a built-in flashlight that can be toggled with a rebindable F key, with adjustable size, brightness and beam shape.
What it does
The flashlight is part of the mod rather than an item from another pack, so it is available once the mod is installed. Players switch it on and off with the F key, which can be rebound in the controls menu. Its size, brightness and beam shape can be adjusted, and it works across dimensions. Custom sound effects play when the light is toggled.
Server owners can change settings through a config file on the server, and in-game commands let operators manage the mod while the game is running. Each player keeps their own client settings for the beam. The author describes the performance cost as low. The mod is for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Sodium Dynamic Lights is an optional dependency that the mod can use alongside it.
Key features
Built-in flashlight
A flashlight is included in the mod itself, so no separate light item has to be crafted or found.
Rebindable toggle key
The F key switches the light on and off, and the binding can be changed in the controls settings.
Adjustable beam
Size, brightness and beam shape can all be changed, so the light can be tuned for different situations.
Custom sound effects
Toggling the flashlight plays dedicated sound effects that the mod provides.
Server config and commands
A server-side config file and in-game commands control the flashlight, while each player keeps personal client settings.
