by Echsm

Toggleable Lanterns lets players extinguish and relight lanterns, with the same behavior as candles.

What it does

Lanterns in Toggleable Lanterns can be lit and put out like candles. A right-click with an empty hand stops a lit lantern from emitting light, and the same action lights it again. Lighting a lantern in the first place requires flint and steel or a fire charge. The mod needs Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across three game versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 0.1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Candle-style toggling

    Lanterns can be extinguished and relit, following the same mechanics as candles.

  2. Empty-hand control

    A right-click with an empty hand puts out a lit lantern so it stops emitting light.

  3. Flint and steel lighting

    Relighting a lantern takes flint and steel or a fire charge, the same way fire is started elsewhere.

What the author says

This Mod changes Lanters to have simelar mechanics to Candles. All lanterns can now be stopped from emmiting Light by extinguishing them by Right-Click with an empty hand. Lighting a Lantern requires a Flint And Steel or a Fire Charge. Works Especially well with Shaderes or True Darkness mods.
