Drop's Flashlight

A client-side-only Fabric mod that that adds a flashlight to Minecraft.

Overview

Are you tired of carrying torches when caving? Fullbright feels like cheating? This mod lets you change that.

Drop's Flashlight is a lightweight client-side-only Fabric mod that adds a flashlight to Minecraft. No server-side installation required! Once you're in-game just press a key (= by default) and enjoy a new caving experience.

The light created by the flashlight can only be seen by you. This mod has been tested with Sodium and Iris Shaders, and it even works with many shader packs.

*Other players can't see your flashlight. This picture was taken with a freecam mod to show the pattern the flashlight creates.

Installation

1. Install the Fabric loader.
2. Install this mod and Fabric API in your mods folder.
