Illumination

by SushiWaUmai

Illumination is a data pack that adds an enchantment to helmets, lighting up the area around a player in dark places.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.4 – 1.21.5

What it does

The enchantment brightens the player's helmet so that surroundings stay visible in dark environments. It is distributed as a data pack, which is installed by copying the .zip file into the datapacks folder of a world, and then applied with a reload command. The server must run it, while players may add it to their own install and leave it out.

Key features

  1. Helmet enchantment

    An enchantment applied to a helmet gives the wearer a light source that moves with them.

  2. Improved visibility

    Surroundings remain visible in dark areas where the player would otherwise see little.

  3. Reload command

    After the data pack is copied into the save's datapacks folder, a reload command makes the world pick it up.
