# Flashlight By CreepermeYT
\nA native datapack and resource-pack (packaged as a mod by modrinth) that will add a **Flashlight** to your world! <\/p>\n

The datapack\/mod works **server-side**: Install it once, works for everyone on the server!<\/p>\n

**Due to Minecraft Datapack Limitations in 1.20.1,
\nsome features are not the same in 1.21.4 and 1.20.1**
\nThese will be marked **[1.21.4 only]** & **[1.20.1 only]**<\/p>\n

## Features
\n– Flashlight crafting recipe:
\n – made of 4 iron, 1 redstone block, 1 spyglass, <\/p>\n

![4 iron, 1 redstone block, 1 spyglass -> turns into -> flashlight](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/744b079a5b08572f3d6fe35dfa6f80fd5e163e2e.png)<\/p>\n

the Crafting Recipe will give a **_knowledge book_** instead: **[1.20.1 only]**
\n![same but it gives a knowledge book instead of flashlight](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/1b455e07c9b7c71ef9f89042de291696de13eb82.png)<\/p>\n

– Flashlight item (When held in the mainhand):
\n – Turns ‘on’ or ‘off’ by right clicking
\n – Summons particles to show the light path while ‘on’
\n – Works as a spyglass accessory: you can use it to zoom as well
\n – Adapts its focus\/width depending on how far you aim it at
\n – Decreases its durability while ‘on’ and breaks in 5 minutes **[1.21.4 only]**
\n – Decreases its durability at a random moment depending on its focus distance: **[1.20.1 only]**<\/p>\n

**[1.20.1 only]**<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Focus Distance<\/th>\n75% of flashlights will last<\/th>\n50% of flashlights will last<\/th>\n25% of flashlights will last<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
<50 blocks<\/td>\n3.1 mins<\/td>\n7.5 mins<\/td>\n15 mins<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
>50 blocks<\/td>\n2.1 mins<\/td>\n5 mins<\/td>\n10 mins<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

– Flashlight custom model (not included in datapack UNLESS resource pack is installed)
\n – Changes texture depending on state: ‘on’ or ‘off’<\/p>\n

![Small Icon showing the Flashlight ‘on’ model](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/LKGDuGZY\/3e7d7d4fa733fba7739dfd181366f7a74e7ca195_96.webp)
\n![Small Icon showing the Flashlight ‘off’ model](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/e821d07a5a676a45869e665047777bce78eb390f.png)<\/p>\n

– Embedded: the dynamic lights datapack: Dynamic Lights By CreepermeYT, which adds dynamic lights. The Flashlight requires it to work. **[1.21.4 only]**<\/p>\n

## Installation
\n### Two options:
\n– **Install as _mod_**:
\n – The **mod (.jar)** should be installed on the \/mods\/ folder to work.
\n – You’re good to go :]
\n– **Install as _datapack_ + _resource pack_**:
\n – The **resource pack (.zip)** should be installed on the \/resourcepacks\/ folder to work.
\n – The **datapack (.zip)** should be installed on the \/saves\/\/datapacks\/ folder to work.
\n – **resource pack (.zip)** and **datapack (.zip)** are the **same .zip** file available for download in versions <\/p>\n

## Limitations
\n– Performance: placing and removing over 100 light blocks when you move the flashlight is inevitably demanding on the server.
\n– Distance limit: the flashlight has a maximum distance of 100 blocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
