How do I set up a permanent light for my base?

Use the command `/flashlight spawn` while looking in the direction you want the light to face, and a stationary spotlight will be placed at your location.

Do flashlights work with other mods?

Flashlights are powered by Forge Energy, so they work with any mod that uses that power system; they're also compatible with most other mods that don't conflict with lighting mechanics.

Can I project images or patterns with my flashlight?

Yes, the mod supports custom image and video projection patterns through resource packs, allowing you to create themed lighting effects.

Why is my game lagging when I use the flashlight?

Try lowering the quality preset in settings, disabling volumetric light shafts, or reducing the beam range; these changes will improve performance without removing core functionality.

Do colored shadows work with all blocks?

Colored shadows are an experimental feature that picks up tints from stained glass and water blocks specifically; other blocks won't tint the shadow colors.

How long does a battery last before I need to recharge it?

Battery duration depends on your beam settings and quality preset; brighter, wider beams with higher quality drain faster, so adjust these settings based on how long you need the light to last.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make my first

flashlight?

Craft a

flashlight using the recipe shown in your crafting menu, then place it in a charging station or use a Forge Energy charger to power it up. Once charged, hold it in your hand and right-click to toggle the beam on.

Why isn't my

flashlight beam showing shadows?

Shadow mapping requires a compatible shader pack like Iris, Oculus, Sodium, or Embeddium to be installed and active. Without a shader, you'll get basic lighting but no shadow details.

Can I change the color of my

flashlight beam?

Yes, open your in-game settings and look for the Flashier Flashlights section where you can adjust beam color, brightness, angle width, and lighting range to your preference.

What does the quality preset setting do?

Quality presets (Potato through Extreme) control shadow detail and visual effects like bloom and volumetric light shafts; lower presets reduce performance impact on weaker computers.
