✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Hands-free light source is a game-changer for exploring dark areas without sacrificing a weapon or tool slot.
- Simple concept, easy to understand and use—just craft and consume.
- Small but active mod (30 endorsements, 739 downloads) with a dedicated niche following.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated September 2025—if the game has had patches since then, compatibility could be an issue.
- Only 30 endorsements means it's not widely tested; you might encounter bugs or balance issues.
For survival game players who hate fumbling with torches or mining helmets and want a magical, hands-free light source. Also for role-players who want a whimsical companion. Skip if you're looking for combat or crafting overhauls—this is a pure QoL/utility mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game has Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) enabled—if so, you may need to disable it or use a mod loader that works with EAC.
- Look for a 'Mods' folder in your game directory; if it doesn't exist, create it and drop the mod files there.
- After installing, test the firefly in a dark area to see if the light radius is sufficient for your needs.
