MrFEG's Flashlight
by MrFEG
MrFEG's Flashlight adds a toggleable handheld light that replaces standard torches for lighting dark places while exploring.
What it does
The flashlight is a light source that players switch on and off, and it draws on a battery power system, so it does not last forever unless its power is kept up. Players can carry it in place of torches while exploring, and built-in Optifine support, driven by dedicated configuration files, produces realistic glowing light effects.
Installing the mod means placing it on both the client and the server, since the environment is client and server. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. The mod requires Batteries, which must be installed alongside it for the power system to work. The license is custom and the code is not open source.
Key features
Toggleable flashlight
A handheld light source that can be switched on and off, offered as a more realistic alternative to torches.
Battery power system
The flashlight uses power from batteries, so its light depends on the charge it has left.
Emissive textures
Glowing textures make the flashlight look lit when it is in use, with realistic light effects under Optifine.
Infinite flashlight option
An infinite flashlight mode keeps the light running without needing batteries, for players who do not want to manage power.

Use cases
Cave exploration
Players moving through caves and mines can carry the flashlight in place of torches and switch it off when they want to save power.
Night travel
Players crossing dark terrain at night can use the light to see the ground ahead without placing torches along the route.
Who it’s for: Players who want a handheld light for exploration, and server owners who run the mod on Forge or NeoForge and want it available to everyone who joins. It suits survival worlds where torches feel too limited.
