About this project

What does Lantern Projection add?

I always found that the lantern light is super useful at night, but the range was lacking, especially if traveling by Elk. This mod spawns a Light entity infront of you in addition to your lantern light. 

There is a slight delay as you move and rotate (to save on CPU cycles and prevent lag).
