Description

⛏️ Mining Helmet

A self-contained headlamp helmet — light the way ahead, fueled by coal.

Fabric  •  Minecraft 26.1.2  •  Requires Fabric API  •  Singleplayer & Server


Free your offhand and ditch the torches. Mining Helmet adds a craftable miner's helmet with a built-in headlamp that lights up whatever you're looking at — like a real flashlight, projected forward instead of glowing all around you.

It's fully self-contained: no LambDynamicLights, no GeckoLib — the only dependency is Fabric API. Works in singleplayer and on dedicated servers.

✨ Features

  • 🔦 Directional headlamp — lights the area in front of you; behind you stays darker.
  • 🔋 Runs on coal — burns coal/charcoal from your inventory; an on-item fuel bar drains as you use it and auto-refuels. Out of coal → lamp turns off.
  • 🎚️ 5 adjustable range levels — more light & reach, but more coal. Pick your trade-off on the fly.
  • 🪖 Add the lamp to ANY armor helmet — keep its enchantments, durability and name, now with a lamp.
  • ⛏️ Material efficiency — better helmet materials make coal last longer.
  • 🛡️ Iron-tier protection on the standalone helmet, with tooltips showing state, range, fuel % and efficiency.
  • 🌍 Available in English and Spanish.

🎮 Controls & Configuration

Key Action
H Turn the lamp on / off
G Cycle the range level (Very low → … → Max)

Equip the helmet in your head slot and keep coal or charcoal in your inventory — it's consumed automatically. Both keys are rebindable in Options → Controls.

🛠️ Crafting

Add the lamp to a helmet

Place any armor helmet (iron, gold, diamond, netherite…) together with a Mining Helmet anywhere in a crafting table. You get your same helmet — keeping enchantments and durability — now with the headlamp.

🎚️ Range levels

Press G to cycle. Higher range = more light and reach, but burns coal faster:

Level Light Reach Coal cost
Very low 8 ~4 blocks ×1
Low 10 ~5.5 blocks ×2
Medium 12 ~7 blocks ×3
High 14 ~8.5 blocks ×4
Max 15 ~10 blocks ×5

⛏️ Material efficiency

When you add the lamp to a helmet, the helmet's material makes coal last longer (less coal at every level):

Base helmet Coal efficiency
Leather +0%
Copper +20%
Chainmail +25%
Iron +40%
Turtle +50%
Gold +70%
Diamond +100%
Netherite +150%
A netherite helmet sips coal about 2.5× slower than leather.

📦 Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.1 - 26.1.2
