Flare Gun | Cave Lighting Weapon

About

Light up dark caves from a distance with a craftable Flare Gun and throwable flares.

Fire a flare into a cavern before you enter, or throw one by hand to mark a nearby passage. Fired flares stick where they land; thrown flares bounce before settling. Burning flares give off bright light, sparks, and smoke.

Features

• Craftable Flare Gun and flare ammunition.
• Two minutes of temporary lighting from fired flares; thrown flares burn for two minutes after settling.
• Throw flares by hand for nearby passages and tight spaces.
• Fired flares deal fire damage and briefly ignite mobs they hit.
• No launcher durability: the Flare Gun uses flares as ammunition.
• Automatic cleanup of temporary light and spent flare models.
• Compatible with Vibrant Visuals.

How to use

1. Craft a Flare Gun and flares at a crafting table.
2. Keep flares anywhere in your inventory.
3. Hold the Flare Gun and use it to fire.
4. To throw a flare, hold the flare itself and use it.

Use flares to reveal cave terrain, mark branching passages, or light a landing spot before jumping down. Fired flares that hit a mob are consumed on impact.
