Light Wands
by short2
Light Wands is a NeoForge decoration and utility mod in which wands and staffs create light sources and fireballs.
What it does
Wands in this mod can generate blocks that give off light. Four blaze powder combine into a fireball, and a fireball that absorbs some sunlight for a few seconds turns into a light ball. Light staffs are created as a separate item for placing light. Rain extinguishes a fireball, so fireballs are kept away from wet weather. Both client and server need the mod, and it is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
