Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything to make lanterns swing or does it happen automatically?
The mod works automatically once installed—all hanging lights will start swinging right away without any setup needed. You can customize the behavior through the configuration options if you want to adjust how much they swing or disable it for specific situations.
Will this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, this mod is completely visual and client-side only, so you can use it on regular multiplayer servers without needing the server to have it installed. Other players won't see the swinging animations, but you will.
How do I make lanterns swing more during storms?
Open the mod's configuration file and look for the weather intensity or storm settings—you can increase how much rain and thunder push the lights around. The guide 'Make Lanterns Swing During Storms' has detailed steps for adjusting these values.
Can I turn off the swinging for lanterns inside my house?
Yes, the mod has an option to disable swinging for lights placed indoors or in enclosed spaces. Check the 'Disable Swinging for Indoor Lanterns' guide for instructions on enabling this feature in your config.
