Curious Lanterns Mod is a mod that allows us to place a normal lantern or a soul lantern on the character’s waist. This way, we don’t have to keep placing torches everywhere, as the lantern will light up around our character. With this mod installed, after crafting a normal lantern or a soul lantern, we can place this lighting element in a new lantern slot that will appear in the character’s inventory. This way, the lantern will be on the waist, freeing up both hands.
Features:
- Adds a hip slot for placing lanterns, such as normal lanterns or soul lanterns.
- Requires a compatible dynamic lighting mod (e.g., Radiant Gear) to enable dynamic lighting for the lanterns.
- Makes exploring caves and dark areas easier by providing hands-free illumination.
- Adds a visually pleasing element to the game with lanterns hanging from the character’s waist.
