About this project
What does Nightwatch Lanterns add?
I made this as a test more or less to see if i could make a mod that at least half works, expect bugs lol
Crafted Nightwatch Lanterns will watch the night for you and will turn off in the presence of evil.
Can modify the range at which they work and any mob with a mob id can be added.
It's perfect if you want to spice up your horror modpack.
Future plans include making them function like entended lol
You can use shaders, just turn off any handheld dynamic lights. Try to only use them in caves to avoid any bugs!
