📋 About This Mod
# Glowing Tools Adds glowing tools so you don't have to unequip your shield or use a fullbright mod to see while you're busy mining in caves! Works with shaders (tested with BSL and Complementary on Iris)! **Requires LambDynamicLights / DynamicLights Reforged!** ## Instructions 1. Acquire any compatible tool (any vanilla tool) 2. Craft a torch 3. Combine the torch with the tool in the crafting grid to get a glowing tool (Bug: resets item data!) 4. Glowing diamond tools can be upgraded to glowing netherite tools in the smithing table 5. Durability, enchantments etc. work exactly as on their vanilla counterpart 6. Hold the item to lighten up your environment 7. Place a torch from your inventory by sneaking and right-clicking on a block 8. Pick up a torch by sneak right-clicking on a torch using any tool (vanilla tools get turned into glowing tools) ## Known Issues - Durability, custom names and enchantments get reset on craft - Custom names get reset when placing torches or picking them up - Legacy items look like normal tools because of the durability bar. (Won't fix) - Torches only placeable on solid blocks (expected behavior for now) ## Translations Currently translated: - English (US) - Lolcat - Chinese (contributed by @oritong) Help with translations would be very appreciated! ## Requirements ### Fabric - Fabric Loader and API - LambDynamicLights ### Forge - Forge - DynamicLights Reforged ## Gallery !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_axes.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_pickaxes.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_hoes.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_shovels.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_swords.png) ## Legacy Textures There is a legacy resource pack included, if you prefer a rather subtle texture instead of a torch on the tool. !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_axes_legacy.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_pickaxes_legacy.png) !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iMiluum/glowing-tools-fabric/main/img/glowing_hoes_legacy.png)
