Flashlight By CreepermeYT
A native datapack and resource-pack (packaged as a mod by modrinth) that will add a Flashlight to your world!
The datapack/mod works server-side: Install it once, works for everyone on the server!
Due to Minecraft Datapack Limitations in 1.20.1,
some features are not the same in 1.21.4 and 1.20.1
These will be marked [1.21.4 only] & [1.20.1 only]
Features
- Flashlight crafting recipe:
-
made of 4 iron, 1 redstone block, 1 spyglass,
-
the Crafting Recipe will give a knowledge book instead: [1.20.1 only]
- Flashlight item (When held in the mainhand):
- Turns 'on' or 'off' by right clicking
- Summons particles to show the light path while 'on'
- Works as a spyglass accessory: you can use it to zoom as well
- Adapts its focus/width depending on how far you aim it at
- Decreases its durability while 'on' and breaks in 5 minutes [1.21.4 only]
- Decreases its durability at a random moment depending on its focus distance: [1.20.1 only]
[1.20.1 only]

Installation
Two options:
- Install as mod:
- The mod (.jar) should be installed on the /mods/ folder to work.
- You're good to go :]
- Install as datapack + resource pack:
- The resource pack (.zip) should be installed on the /resourcepacks/ folder to work.
- The datapack (.zip) should be installed on the /saves/<your_world_name>/datapacks/ folder to work.
- resource pack (.zip) and datapack (.zip) are the same .zip file available for download in versions
Limitations
- Performance: placing and removing over 100 light blocks when you move the flashlight is inevitably demanding on the server.
- Distance limit: the flashlight has a maximum distance of 100 blocks.
