Simple Flares
by slolex
Simple Flares adds throwable flares that give temporary light in caves, where players want to see deep chasms without placing torches everywhere.
What it does
Three flare types are added: small flares, large flares and sticky flares. Each is thrown and burns for a set time, emitting a light level while it lasts. A flare that hits a wall or ceiling can stick to it, which helps light up the sides of tall ravines.
The mod is built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Small flares
Crafted from a stick and gunpowder into two flares, these burn for 25 seconds and bounce off solid blocks.
Sticky flares
Sticky flares attach to walls and ceilings where they land, keeping light in place for lighting large ravines.
Large flares
Large flares burn for 1 minute and are crafted from a stick, a slimeball, glowstone dust and paper.
