# Useful Lanterns This mod adds a Trinket slot called the "Lantern Slot" that let's you put a lantern on your hip which renders on your character with dynamic lighting and very cool physics. ![Preview](https://i.imgur.com/pgrwmGA.gif) ## Dependencies

This mod requires [Trinkets](https://modrinth.com/mod/trinkets) to function. For it to emit light [LambDynamicLights](https://modrinth.com/mod/lambdynamiclights) is required. For the in-game config screen you need to install [Mod Menu](https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu) and [Fzzy Config](https://modrinth.com/mod/fzzy-config). Otherwise you need to manually edit the file `config/usefullanterns/config.toml`. Currently you can only configure which side the lantern is on. Making the `Lantern On Right Side` config value to `true` will move it to the right side rather than the left side.

## Mod Compatibility

This mod by default works with: - Vanilla Lanterns - [Chipped](https://modrinth.com/mod/chipped) - [Supplementaries Squared](https://modrinth.com/mod/supplementaries-squared) - [[Let's Do] Meadow](https://modrinth.com/mod/lets-do-meadow) - [Better Archeology](https://modrinth.com/mod/better-archeology) But don't worry, you can easily add your own mod compatibility with just a single datapack. By editing the tag `data/trinkets/tags/items/legs/lantern.json` you can make any lantern work with Useful Lanterns! Example: ```json { "replace": false, "values": [ "myfavoritemod:cute_lantern", "myfavoritemod:cool_lantern" ] } ``` The `"replace": false` is really necessary here, since if you overwrite the default tag none of the lanterns this mod supports will work. Yes, not even the vanilla ones.

The majority of this mod is written with the help of [Claude AI](https://claude.ai/) but the mod logo and the description is entirely made by me. AI is used here as a tool instead of fully relying on it.
