✨ Lightning Torch

✨ Lightning Torch Dynamic lighting for held torches and lanterns in Minecraft 1.21.5 (Fabric & Forge)

✨ Overview Lightning Torch makes any torch or lantern you hold cast light exactly like if it were placed on the ground. Perfect for cave exploration, nighttime builds, and everywhere you need immediate illumination without placing blocks.

🛠️ Features

Dynamic Lighting
Held torches and lanterns automatically generate a hidden light source at your feet, matching the glow of a placed torch or lantern.
Configurable Brightness
Use /torchlight <0–15> to adjust the light level of your held source on the fly (default is 14).
3D Lantern Model in Hand
Held lantern now uses the same 3D model as a placed lantern, including its animated flicker, for a seamless visual match.
Dual Compatibility
Fabric: lightningtorch-2.0-Fabric.jar (in com.lightningtorch) handles dynamic lighting for torches and lanterns.
Forge: lightningtorch-2.0-Forge.jar (in com.lightningtorch.client) registers the /torchlight command and dynamic light logic.
Client-Side Only
No server-side changes required. Lightweight and conflict-free.
No Extra Dependencies
Fabric version: Fabric Loader ≥ 0.16.14 and Fabric API 0.123.0+1.21.5.
Forge version: Forge 55.0.21 (1.21.5-55.0.21).
