Miner's Helmet
by Sygikal
Miner's Helmet adds a light-emitting helmet that players wear to see while mining, including underwater, for Fabric.
What it does
The helmet gives off light so that caves and dark tunnels stay readable while a player digs. Its light also reaches underwater, where vanilla lighting is weak. The mod ships as a data pack, in two versions: one built on complete vanilla content, and one that uses a dynamic lighting approach instead. A resource pack goes with the latest vanilla data pack, and a data pack requires that resource pack to be used alongside it. The mod runs on Fabric, is published for 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, and the server requires it while the client may add it. The latest file is v1.1.1 for 1.21.10, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
