Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything special to see the 3D lanterns and torches?
No—once the resource pack is installed and activated, 3D lanterns and torches will render automatically when you hold them in your hand or offhand. Make sure the resource pack is enabled in your resource pack menu and positioned above any conflicting packs.
Why do my lanterns and torches still look flat?
Check that the resource pack is actually enabled in your resource packs menu (it should show in the 'Active' column, not 'Inactive'). If it's enabled, try moving it above other resource packs in the list, as conflicting packs can override the 3D models.
Can I use 3D lanterns and torches while mining?
Yes—you can hold a lantern or torch in your offhand while mining with a pickaxe in your main hand, letting you see better in caves without switching tools. Use the swap hands keybind (F by default) to quickly toggle between your mining tool and light source.
Do the 3D models work in multiplayer?
Yes, as long as all players have the resource pack installed on their client side. Other players will see your 3D lanterns and torches when you hold them, and you'll see theirs too.
