Description

## 🔦 Light up the world as you walk

Hold a **torch, lantern, glowstone, a bucket of lava** or any other glowing block in your main hand or off-hand, and the world around you lights up as you move. Put it away and the light goes with it. ✨

- 🕯️ Works with **every glowing block**: torches, soul torches, lanterns, sea lanterns, glowstone, shroomlights, jack o'lanterns and modded light blocks.
- 🌋 **Lava buckets** glow at full brightness.
- 👥 **Other players** holding a light light up the world for you too, in multiplayer.
- 🐑 **Mobs and items** near the light are lit as well, not just the blocks.

## ⚡ Light on performance

- 🖥️ The light is only drawn on your screen, never placed in the world: **nothing changes on the server** and nothing is saved.
- 🎯 Only the parts of the world the light reaches are redrawn, and only when the light moves into another block.
- ⏱️ Light sources are checked every other tick, only within the range you choose.

## ⚙️ Options

In *Mods → Walking Torches → Config*:
- 💡 **Lights in hand**: on/off.
- 📏 **Range**: how far away other players can be and still light things up (16–128 blocks, default 64).

## 🧩 Compatibility

- 💻 **Client side only.** Install it on your game; servers don't need it.
- 🤝 If **LambDynamicLights** is installed, Walking Torches steps aside and lets it do the lighting.
- 🟠 Also included in **Copper Colonies**, which switches its own copy off when this mod is installed.
