About this project
What does Headlamp add?
A miner's hard hat with a headlamp that actually lights where you look.
Most helmet lamps are a glow around your head. This one aims — the light lands on the wall you're facing, falls off smoothly instead of block by block, and dims on surfaces angled away from the beam. Dust drifts through the shaft in third person.
An optional battery drains while it's lit and recharges while it's off, faster if you crank the brightness. Everything is adjustable in game.
Fully client-side. Works on any server.
