Better Light

Better Light

Bring immersive lighting to your Minecraft adventures.

Better Light is a lightweight Forge mod that lets you carry lanterns naturally, explore with both hands free, and interact with light sources in a more intuitive way.

Instead of constantly holding a lantern, simply equip it on your belt and let it illuminate your path while you mine, fight, or build.

Features

🏮 Dynamic Lighting

Light sources emit dynamic light while held or equipped on your belt, making cave exploration much more immersive.

👖 Belt Lantern

Attach a lantern to your belt and keep both hands free. The lantern is fully rendered on your player model with smooth movement and realistic swinging while walking or running.

🖱️ Quick Pickup

Pick up placed lanterns and torches with a simple Right Click—no need to break and replace them.

✨ Smooth Animations

The belt lantern features natural motion with smooth interpolation and realistic sway, making it feel like part of your equipment instead of a static model.

⚙️ Configurable

Customize the lantern’s position, rotation, offsets, and other visual settings to match your preferences.
