Flashlight Mod

Add a fully featured flashlight to Minecraft with a realistic directional beam, 16 color options, and immersive volumetric dust particles.


Features

  • Toggle on/off by right-clicking with the flashlight in hand
  • 16 beam colors --> change anytime with `/flashlight color set `
  • Realistic directional beam with a bright hotspot center and smooth edges
  • Volumetric glow --> subtle light brightening the air in the beam's path
  • Dust particles --> tiny animated particles drift through the beam, more indoors than outside
  • Dynamic fill lighting via LambDynamicLights --> lights up blocks around you even without shaders
  • Multiplayer support --> other players' beams are visible to you in real time

Requirements


Shader Setup

The beam is off by default. After installing the shader:

  1. Go to Video Settings → Shader Packs → Shader Options → Lighting
  2. Enable FLASHLIGHT to turn on the directional beam
  3. Optionally enable FLASHLIGHT_VOLUMETRIC for the glow and dust particles
  4. Optionally enable FLASHLIGHT_MULTIPLAYER to see other players' beams

Colors

white warm red orange yellow lime green teal cyan light_blue blue purple magenta pink gold uv

Change color with: `/flashlight color set ` The color is saved when you toggle the flashlight off and restored when you turn it back on.


Multiplayer

The mod needs to be installed on the server and all clients. With everyone set up, you can see each other's beams, colors, and dynamic fill lighting in real time.
