About this project
What does Headlight add?
Headlight adds a helmet "Headlight Helmet" capable of storing a light source. The strength of the light source will dictate the amount of light emitted while the helmet is worn making it perfect mining, caving or adventuring at night.
You can right-click the Headlight Helmet to open a gui that allows you to insert a singular light source into the helmet or take it out.
The mod uses the "headlight:lights" item tag to dictate what's allowed inside the helmet, only block items will work in the item tag.
Planned features:
- Ability to attach a light source to any helmet
