Luminous Helmet
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.




Adds a copper helmet that emits dynamic light around the player, serving as a convenient replacement for torches when exploring caves or dark areas. The copper helmet provides the same armor protection as an iron helmet and can be repaired on an anvil using copper. Light up your adventures and explore safely!
Incompatible with Starlight!!
IMPORTANT:
For the helmet’s dynamic lighting to work in multiplayer, all players must install this mod on their own client.
The server also needs to have the mod installed, but the lighting effect will only be visible to players who have it installed in their own Minecraft.
You are free to use this mod in your modpack. I would just appreciate it if you let me know when you do, as I’d love to see if people enjoy it.
