⛏️ Mining Helmet
A self-contained headlamp helmet — light the way ahead, fueled by coal.
Fabric • Minecraft 26.1.2 • Requires Fabric API • Singleplayer & Server
Free your offhand and ditch the torches. Mining Helmet adds a craftable miner's helmet with a built-in headlamp that lights up whatever you're looking at — like a real flashlight, projected forward instead of glowing all around you.
It's fully self-contained: no LambDynamicLights, no GeckoLib — the only dependency is Fabric API. Works in singleplayer and on dedicated servers.

✨ Features
- 🔦 Directional headlamp — lights the area in front of you; behind you stays darker.
- 🔋 Runs on coal — burns coal/charcoal from your inventory; an on-item fuel bar drains as you use it and auto-refuels. Out of coal → lamp turns off.
- 🎚️ 5 adjustable range levels — more light & reach, but more coal. Pick your trade-off on the fly.
- 🪖 Add the lamp to ANY armor helmet — keep its enchantments, durability and name, now with a lamp.
- ⛏️ Material efficiency — better helmet materials make coal last longer.
- 🛡️ Iron-tier protection on the standalone helmet, with tooltips showing state, range, fuel % and efficiency.
- 🌍 Available in English and Spanish.

Add the lamp to a helmet
Place any armor helmet (iron, gold, diamond, netherite…) together with a Mining Helmet anywhere in a crafting table. You get your same helmet — keeping enchantments and durability — now with the headlamp.
🎚️ Range levels
Press G to cycle. Higher range = more light and reach, but burns coal faster:

⛏️ Material efficiency
When you add the lamp to a helmet, the helmet's material makes coal last longer (less coal at every level):
| Base helmet |
Coal efficiency |
| Leather |
+0% |
| Copper |
+20% |
| Chainmail |
+25% |
| Iron |
+40% |
| Turtle |
+50% |
| Gold |
+70% |
| Diamond |
+100% |
| Netherite |
+150% |
A netherite helmet sips coal about 2.5× slower than leather.
