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
- Acquire any compatible tool (any vanilla tool)
- Craft a torch
- Combine the torch with the tool in the crafting grid to get a glowing tool (Bug: resets item data!)
- Glowing diamond tools can be upgraded to glowing netherite tools in the smithing table
- Durability, enchantments etc. work exactly as on their vanilla counterpart
- Hold the item to lighten up your environment
- Place a torch from your inventory by sneaking and right-clicking on a block
- 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)

Legacy Textures
There is a legacy resource pack included, if you prefer a rather subtle texture instead of a torch on the tool.

Stay protected while still being able to see! No need to replace your shield with a torch or using fullbright mods; You will not have to oversee valuable items just because of the sheer blindness. Unless you're not afraid of skeletons and creepers, then you can just use a torch! -
Works with shaders! Unlike fullbright mods, glowing tools work with shaders! Your illuminated field of view will be limited though. On the left, you can see what it would look like without the glowing tools, while on the right you can see how much of a difference it makes. -
