Flare Gun adds a compact cave-exploration weapon to Minecraft Bedrock.

Craft a flare gun, load it with flares, and shoot bright flare projectiles into dark caves, cliffs, mineshafts, and combat spaces. Flares fly like arrows, stick where they land, spark while burning, and light the area for a limited time before leaving a spent flare behind.

How to use

Craft a Flare Gun and Flare ammo at a crafting table. Keep flares in your inventory, equip the Flare Gun, then use/right-click to fire.

Shoot into dark caves to reveal terrain before entering, mark a path from a distance, or hit hostile mobs to deal direct fire damage and briefly set them on fire.

Notes

Flares use temporary light blocks to illuminate nearby air spaces. They are designed to clean up automatically when the flare burns out, after reloads, and when old spent flare models expire.

The Flare Gun uses ammo instead of durability, so the launcher itself does not break from use.
