Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

I recommend installing the mod Dynamiclights reforged for better dynamic lighting performance

Hey diggers! Tired of digging in the dark, with torches constantly going out? Need to hold something other than a torch in your left hand? The Digger's Helmet is your solution!

Here's how to get it:

Find a zombie that spawns with an Eternal Candle in its hand (20% chance).
Defeat it, claim the Eternal Candle, and craft the Digger's Helmet.

Features:

Dynamic lighting when worn (enables dynamic entity lighting on Sodium).
Custom animated model — watch the candle glow! 🔥

Bonus modules included:

Auto-Hydrator Module — No more manual drinking! Automatically detects water bottles, buckets, or any liquid containers in your inventory and hydrates you when installed in the helmet.
Mining Speed Module — Boosts mining speed for pickaxes and shovels when equipped in the Digger's Helmet.

Now dig smarter, not harder! 💡⛏️
