Miner’s Helmet Mod is a very simple mod that just adds a mining helmet that lights up your way in dark areas such as caves and ravines. Zombies can spawn with Iron Pickaxes, and Mining Helmets. There’s a config option to disable this.

Features:
Crafting Recipe:

You will unlock the recipe for the Mining Helmet as soon as you obtain a Lantern.
Works well in caves:

Use this helmet to light your path in dark areas and caves.
Lights up dark underwater areas:

Swim with your mining helmet and light your path through dark trenches.
Mobs can wear (and spawn with) it too!

There’s also a chance for mobs to spawn with a pickaxe in their hands. When you slay them, there’s a chance that they will drop their helmets.
