Offhand Lights
by Tesseract
Offhand Lights lets a torch or other light source held in the off hand illuminate the area around the player on Forge 1.7.10.
What it does
Offhand Lights makes dynamic lights work for items held in the off hand, so a player can carry light in one hand while mining or building with the other. It requires Mycelium, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything.
The mod is intended for compatibility between mods that provide dynamic lights for off-hand items. Optifine, Angelica, RPLE, FalseTweaks, Battlegear2, the GTNH fork of Battlegear2 and Backhand are all named as compatible partners. Builds exist for Forge 1.7.10 only, with version 1.6 as the latest file, published on 2024-12-14.
