This mod adds a Hip curio slot and allows both the Lantern and Soul Lantern to be placed in it.
For hip lantern swinging, enable it via the client config file in the config folder.
Requires Curios (Forge) and Radiant Gear (including a dynamic lights mod, see Radiant Gear for info).
This mod does not add dynamic lighting on its own.
Curious Lights does this, so please refer to that mod for dynamic lighting.
This mod only adds a curio slot for the lantern, Curious Lights handles everything else.
Both Lucent and Magnesium/Rubidium Dynamic Lights support native dynamic lighting for lanterns.
Those who use the Dynamic Lights mod will need to edit the 'dynamiclights_selflight.cfg. config file and add the lantern items.
Warning
Lucent does not work with Ars Nouveau. Attempting to use both will result in no block lighting. This is not an issue with Curious Lanterns, it is a problem with Lucent and Ars Nouveau.
This is because Ars Nouveau adds its own Dynamic Lights rendering, resulting in conflict and rendering errors.
Compatible Mods
- Supplementaries
- Cyclic
- Additional Lanterns
More compatibilities will be added as they arise. Note: I will only include compatibilities if they are relatively easy and clean to implement.
I made this specifically because I was tired of holding torches in my off-hand when caving and accidentally placing them everywhere, plus the idea of having a lantern on your hip is very aesthetically pleasing. I found Curious Lights and wanted to add a hip slot so I can still wear belt curios. I could have done this with a datapack, and I'm sure it's already been done in some way, but I've never worked with API's before and I wanted to give it a shot. Since this is already a mod, I do intend on adding some more functions later on, such as toggling on and off the lantern, but when or if I actually get to this is up in the air. Don't expect much.
Before it's asked, I do plan on updating this to later versions as they come out, as long as its parent mods are kept up with. I cannot do a backport, Curious Lights does not have previous versions. I will not make a fabric version for the same reason.
