Radiant Gear

by TheIllusiveC4

Radiant Gear bridges Curios API and Trinkets API accessory slots to dynamic light mods, so a light item worn in a slot can light the area around the player.

What it does

When a dynamic lighting mod is installed, items in accessory slots inherit the light behavior that the same item has in a hand. A torch placed in a slot gives off light in the same way a held torch does. The mod adds no slots or items of its own; slots come from another mod or from a configuration file for Curios API or Trinkets API.

The mod is required by Curious Lanterns, Wearable Lanterns, Torches 'n' Trinkets and Equipable Lanterns, which build on its bridge. Its dependencies are Curios API, Fabric API, Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), and Trinkets. Lucent, LambDynamicLights and RyoamicLights are optional light sources that the bridge can work with.

Builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Its sidedness depends on the light mod chosen: with Lucent it runs on the client alone, while with Dynamic Lights it must run on the server as well as the client.

Key features

  1. Accessory light inheritance

    Items worn in Curios or Trinkets accessory slots give the same dynamic light that the item gives when held.

  2. Torches in slots

    A torch placed in an accessory slot lights the area around the player, matching the behavior of a held torch.

  3. Configurable slots

    Accessory slots are added through the Curios API or Trinkets API configuration, so the bridge works with any slot layout the player sets up.

  4. Optional light mods

    Dynamic Lights, Magnesium and Rubidium Dynamic Lights, Lucent, LambDynamicLights and RyoamicLights can each supply the lighting behavior.

Questions

Does Radiant Gear add any items or slots?

No. Slots come from Curios API or Trinkets API configuration or from another mod, and the bridge only passes on the light behavior of items already in those slots.

Which light mod should be used with Radiant Gear?

The choice sets where the mod runs. Lucent keeps it client-side only, while Dynamic Lights requires it on the server as well as the client.

Does Radiant Gear need Fabric API on Forge?

No. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Curios API is required on Forge and NeoForge, and Quilted Fabric API or Quilt Standard Libraries on Quilt.

What the author says

Radiant Gear is a mod that acts as a simple compatibility bridge between Curios API or Trinkets API and dynamic light mods. With this mod, items in accessory slots will inherit the dynamic lighting behavior defined by the dynamic lighting mod. As an example, if a held torch would provide dynamic lighting, then…
