Best Flashlight - Helmet Uprgade🔦
by TeamCatBoyz
Best Flashlight - Helmet Uprgade adds a flashlight that attaches to a helmet, so light follows where the player looks without holding an item.
What it does
A flashlight can be crafted from its regular recipe and then held in the main hand or the offhand, where it throws a bright volumetric beam forward. Once a flashlight is attached to a helmet, the light turns with the player's head. Any helmet made from leather, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite or turtle shell can take a flashlight attached to it, and the resulting helmet keeps the light fitted, with several helmet types supported.
When the light is switched off, the flashlight plays its own animation, which includes a visible press of its button. The toggle key can be changed in the Minecraft controls settings under the Flashlight entry, so players can bind it to a key that suits them. Both the flashlight and the helmet variants work in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers.
The mod depends on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Hand-held flashlight
The flashlight is held in the main hand or the offhand and casts a volumetric beam in the direction the player faces.
Helmet attachment
A flashlight can be attached to a helmet, so its beam turns with the head and leaves both hands free.

Toggle with animation
Pressing the toggle key switches the flashlight off and on, with its own button press animation.
