Golden Helmet Glow
Ever wanted your golden helmet to actually be useful for something other than looking shiny? This mod gives it a torch-like glow — wear it, and light follows you wherever you go.

✨ Features
- Wearing a Golden Helmet in the head slot makes you emit light, just like standing next to a torch (light level 15).
- The light follows you automatically as you move around.
- Turns off instantly the moment you take the helmet off.
- No new items, no new recipes, no config screens — just one small, focused mechanic.
- Lightweight: a single tick-based check per player, no rendering overhead.

🧩 Compatibility
- Works alongside any other mod — it doesn't touch vanilla items, recipes, or textures.
- Since it modifies world blocks directly (placing/removing a light block), some strict anti-grief or region-protection plugins/mods may interfere with it. If the glow doesn't appear on a protected server, check with the server admin.
- Not compatible with servers that don't run the mod — the effect is server-authoritative, not a client-only visual trick.
⚙️ Requires
Requires installation on both client and server.
