**Lamb Lanterns** is a small companion mod for LambDynamicLights. It lets you slot a vanilla lantern (or soul lantern) into a dedicated **Lantern** Curios slot \u2014 and then it actually behaves like one.<\/p>\n
## What it does<\/p>\n
– 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.
\n– Renders the worn lantern hanging from the player’s right hip, with a chain attachment on the actual hip-bone of the body model.
\n– 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.
\n– When **LambDynamicLights** is installed it emits real dynamic light through the LDL API \u2014 exactly as if you were holding the lantern.<\/p>\n
Install on **both server and client** \u2014 the slot lives server-side (Curios is server-authoritative), the rendering and dynamic light are client-side.<\/p>\n
## Notes<\/p>\n
– The hanging lantern model is rendered with `hanging=true`, so it shows the chain even though it’s not attached to a block above.
\n– 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.
\n– 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.<\/p>\n
## Credits<\/p>\n
Body-anchored rendering and the pendulum shape are inspired by ImmersiveLanterns by Toni \u2014 go check it out for a fuller take on lantern accessories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
