About this project

What does HelmLight add?

This mod adds helmet-based lighting to the game, with fixed glow colors depending on the helmet material.
Higher-tier helmets emit stronger light with a greater range, making advanced equipment more effective during exploration.

All features are handled exclusively through the Armorer Bench, where options are organized into three dedicated categories.
Players can turn the light on or off, or hide the helmet’s visual model, directly from the bench — no commands, no external configuration.

⚠️ Important: Only helmets at 100% durability can be crafted or modified to include the lighting effect.
Damaged helmets cannot be used for this process.

Build philosophy: One helmet. One torch.

Enjoy the game.
