How do I install Headlight?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Headlight work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.1, 1.20.1. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

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.

Headlight adds a helmet "Headlight Helmet" capable of storing a light source. The strength of the light source will dictate the amount of light emitted while the helmet is worn making it perfect mining, caving or adventuring at night.

You can right-click the Headlight Helmet to open a gui that allows you to insert a singular light source into the helmet or take it out.

The mod uses the "headlight:lights" item tag to dictate what's allowed inside the helmet, only block items will work in the item tag.

Planned features:

Ability to attach a light source to any helmet
