Description

**Lamb Lanterns** is a small companion mod for [LambDynamicLights](https://modrinth.com/mod/lambdynamiclights). It lets you slot a vanilla lantern (or soul lantern) into a dedicated **Lantern** Curios slot — and then it actually behaves like one. ## What it does - Adds a dedicated `lantern` slot to the Curios screen with a faded lantern silhouette icon. No fighting the belt slot for space with backpacks, rings, or charms. - Renders the worn lantern hanging from the player's right hip, with a chain attachment on the actual hip-bone of the body model. - Damped 2D pendulum physics: the lantern swings forward when you walk, side-to-side when you strafe, and gets a little kick when you start sneaking. - When **LambDynamicLights** is installed it emits real dynamic light through the LDL API — exactly as if you were holding the lantern. Install on **both server and client** — the slot lives server-side (Curios is server-authoritative), the rendering and dynamic light are client-side. ## Notes - The hanging lantern model is rendered with `hanging=true`, so it shows the chain even though it's not attached to a block above. - Items can be added to the slot from datapacks by tagging them `#curios:lantern`. They'll be storable but only vanilla lanterns get rendered on the body unless a third-party `ICurioRenderer` ships with the item. - Vanilla light is monochrome, so soul lantern light is white in vanilla. Shader packs that respect per-block emission tint will color it on their own. ## Credits Body-anchored rendering and the pendulum shape are inspired by [ImmersiveLanterns](https://modrinth.com/mod/immersive-lanterns) by Toni — go check it out for a fuller take on lantern accessories.
