WynnLantern

by Amicia-Dev

WynnLantern lets a player bind a key that switches a lantern torch on and off, for use while exploring dark areas.

What it does

A client-side keybind places a lantern torch in the hand so the light can be used without digging through the inventory. It works with Sodium, Iris and a shader pack with dynamic lighting, and LambDynamicLights can supply the same effect for players who want to avoid heavy shaders. Fabric API is required. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it.

Files target 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.6 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. The code is under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source. A resource pack changes how the lantern torch looks in game.

Key features

  1. Lantern torch keybind

    A simple key binding equips the lantern torch, so the light is one press away.

  2. Dynamic lighting support

    The light works with Sodium, Iris and shader packs that handle dynamic lighting.

  3. Resource pack styling

    A resource pack can alter the appearance of the lantern torch in game.

What the author says

For this mod to work, you need to have Sodium + Iris + Shaders with dynamic lighting. (I use Rethinking Voxels or Sildurs Vibrant Shaders Extreme VL) OR you could use LambDynamicLights instead if you don't want demanding shaders.
