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.

Shadowed´s Light Follower (N)F🔨) — Minecraft Java mod, screenshot 1

Light Follower Mod that provides a light that follows you so you don't have to use torches manually and can use your other hand for other items. When enabled with /lightfollower toggle (For versions 1.2.5 or below, use /light true).

Commands for the Light

Perfect for exploring, being in caves, and not having any torches!

One of the most important commands is /lightfollower brightness <0-15>, which is used to determine the light intensity between 0 and 15.

Example of light and levels:

WARNING: THIS EXAMPLE IS ONLY TO SHOW THE LIGHT LEVELS, IT IS NOT HOW THE LIGHT BEHAVES. IF YOU WANT THAT “BREATHING” RHYTHM, USE /lightfollower mode breathing.
