📋 About This Mod
Increases the distance of your Headlamp lights. This mod's default is 1. 5x distance but i have included a second option for 2x distance (i feel is too far) and a third option for 3x distance (probably very OP, non-immersive, and more like a cheat)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 4,593 endorsements and 90k downloads — clearly a go-to for better visibility.
- Three distance options let you pick your preferred balance between immersion and practicality.
- Lightweight and straightforward — no complex setup, just pick your version and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Author notes the 2x and 3x options may feel overpowered or non-immersive, so stick to 1.5x if you want realism.
- Last updated in December 2022 — might not be tested with the latest game patches, so watch for issues.
For players who find the default headlamp range too short and want a quick, adjustable fix. Great for explorers and miners who need to see further in dark caves. Skip if you prefer a vanilla experience or want more complex lighting overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're playing on a server, make sure the mod is installed on both client and server to avoid desync.
- Start with the 1.5x version first — it's the most balanced and least likely to break immersion.
- Check the mod's comments section for any reported issues with the latest game update before installing.
