Frequently asked questions

Do I need to configure anything when I first install the mod?

The mod works out of the box with default settings—just load a world and any light sources you hold will immediately illuminate your surroundings. You can adjust brightness levels and toggle specific light sources in the mod's config menu if you want to customize the experience.

Why isn't my torch lighting up when I hold it?

Make sure you're holding the torch in your main hand (not your offhand), and check that dynamic lighting hasn't been disabled in the mod settings. Some servers or modpacks may have the feature turned off for performance reasons.

Does the light from items in my inventory affect my surroundings?

No—only items held in your main hand produce light that follows you. Items stored in your inventory, hotbar, or offhand do not emit light.

Can I see glowing mobs light up in caves?

Yes, glowing creatures like Blazes and Glow Squids will illuminate the area around them as they move, making them easier to spot in dark caves and helping you track their positions.
