GlymeraLantern - Personal Dynamic Light

A simple toggle command that makes your character emit light - perfect for mining, caves and nighttime exploration.

Most actual version only working for Hytale stable 5 ! Don't miss my other exciting projects — take a look at GlymeraCraft's Profile Discord: https://discord.gg/s5NRFWfxgy

What is GlymeraLantern?

GlymeraLantern gives every player a personal light source. Type /lantern and your character starts glowing, illuminating everything around you. Type it again to turn it off. No items to craft, no torches to place, no fuel to worry about - just light when you need it.

Pure server-side plugin - no client mod required.

How It Works

The plugin attaches a DynamicLight component directly to your player entity. The light moves with you in real time, with zero delay. There are no invisible blocks, no floating NPCs, no particles - just clean dynamic light on your character.

Commands

Command	Who	Description
`/lantern`	Everyone*	Toggle personal light on/off

Access can be restricted to OPs via config.

Configuration

A config file is generated at first startup:

mods/de.glymera_GlymeraLantern/config.json

{
  "opOnly": false
}

Setting	Default	Description
`opOnly`	`false`	If `true`, only server operators can use `/lantern`

Installation

Place GlymeraLantern-1.0.0.jar in your server's mods/ folder
Start (or restart) the server
Done!
