Immersive Lanterns
Wiggly Lanterns!
This mod aims to make Lanterns and such more immersive and organic by adding cool speed/gravity/wind based wiggly 'physics' to lanterns and 'flicker' effect to dynamic lights.
>Use the L menu to tweak flickering lights and placed lanterns sway to your taste< ![]()
It also raises both arms a little for better visualization (only for immersive fp, normal fp is cool)
And the arms now follow player head rotation. This is also applied to torches.
Note that this mod only affects DYNAMIC LIGHTING. Why not add the same effect to placed blocks?
Those have light baked in the chunk data, so not the best idea to toy with. (but i'm trying a workaround let's see ;) )
Personal recommendation:
I love the mod, and crafted compatibility for it specificaly:

Forgot to ask, but is this mod compatable with https://news.kalataka.ru/fueledwearablelights now?
Spookyheart
for all versions after it too! It will say 15 light level on the tooltip but placing it down corrects itself.
We just installed this mod on the server and are having the same issue with lower light levels than vanilla. 0.3.1. Is it only fixed on 0.2.9?
ChezWaldo
this was fixed on 0.2.9
Not sure if this is supposed to work like this or not. but i noticed that all the light levels are lower than they should be? my vanilla lantern with a silver lining is normally at 20 but with the mod installed and in use its only 15. is that part of the mod or just a bug? But it looks like they still show the same distance away?
HighSpeedPolka We removed ImmersiveLanterns for now and the issue was resolved, it's definitely conflicting with Overhaul lib sadly. We wanted to keep firearms and crossbows so... If you're still having the issue I'm sorry I can't offer more.
I've been playing on a multiplayer server that has Immersive Lanterns installed, and I noticed that I have to bring up the Settings Menu for the mod in order for it to 'remember' my settings. I'm not sure if this is something that can be hard fixed, and I have a working workaround, I just wanted to make you aware.

My partner has been having the exact same crash issue as you i have seen some of your posts on the 3 other mods involved in this and even tried removing Immersive lanterns my self but they're still getting the same crash just with out it are you still having this issue or have you figured it out.
DiogoIII
Yes, please try it with only immersive lanterns first! If the problem persists you can report back to me and I'll try to look into it! 🫡
SaltyWater
damn, might be one of those mods that are conflicting with immersive lanterns then, because i dont have this problem when not using it, maybe ill take a look at this later, thanks for the reply i didn't know those chunk update were a problem but it makes sense, sometimes when im riding a dragon (draconis) the game starts freezing from time to time like 1 sec cooldown(running smooth around 240 fps) until I leave a certain area.
DiogoIII
Light level change was fixed in 0.2.9.
Game freezing when breaking blocks is a chunk updating problem. something is choking it. I personally do not get this freezing with Immersive Lanterns, you'll probably going to need to test it mod by mod!
so uh, I really love this mod, really wish I could play a smooth game with it, but that's not the case, someone already mentioned the bug where when placing or breaking a block changes the light level of light sources, BUT due to this(very probably, I tested and the next issue is caused by this mod so probably is because of this) whenever I place or break a block even when theres no light source around the game quickly freezes, it's almost unoticeable, but holy shit this is annoying as f***, I can't have a smooth gameplay with this mod enable which is a shame because I really really love it and it's compatibility with wind chimes, pls fix this your mod is amazing😭
I'm playing in 1.21.5 with the following mods:

damn, that took me time, maybe it will help(prob not lol).
Getting this a lot, I can't tell which mod to report this to.
bro 😂
Dezz Can confirm, on 1.21.5 and I've got spinning lanterns. It's kinda adorable actually. If it projected the texture lining across the walls dynamically, it'd make quite a show.
Using Imgur for the images means everyone in the UK cant see anything ("content is blocked / Content not viewable in your region"). Would you consider using another image host as potentally 70 million of us will never be able to view anything uploaded here other than text (including not being able to donate to you !) ?
my lanterns keep spinning in place idk if theres a mod conflic somewhere or what but it is funny to see
Trampek He removed the allowed exits setting a couple hours after responding.
hello, i also got problem with lanterns indoors
i see your answer -
"It means the game is not registering your indoors as a enclosed space!
check the menu and set a higher number for allowed exits"
got no idea tho what menu ? cant find config for this mod or any menu
had same crash as MailMan1001, but happened as i was placing lantern instead. came here to report based on these additional errors happening immediately before the crash
SaltyWater How do we increase the amount of allowed exits? I can't see the option in the menu under the sway or flickering categories, just turn speeds and degrees (on version 0.2.8)
Happens when picking up a lantern, not always but occasionally
I did not know I needed this... I need this now.
Tyga
It means the game is not registering your indoors as a enclosed space!
check the menu and set a higher number for allowed exits
For some reason my lanterns even when placed indoors in my house are swaying with the wind, i would assume this is not intended. i have no windows and while its not considered a cellar, it is a functioning room
Elijah_
I'll do it, if you enjoy it you can pet the floppa! No pressure ^^
egoanditspwn
I am currently studying a fix for this!
ive noticed, at least with the oil lamp, if it is placed, the brightness changes whenever i place or break blocks nearby. is there a way to keep the flicker of held lights, but not have this?
Here's to hoping it wouldn't be too laborious to make happen, I'd be more than happy to put money towards it if it'd sweeten the pot at all!
Elijah_
heey!
I'd say it is very difficult.
The shape of the lantern needs to be in a very specific way for it to run properly, which means I would have to go inside each custom lantern shape file of the mod and patch it manually to then make code for each to make it work!
I'll take a look, but can't make any promises!
As already mentioned that Conquest doesn't play nicely with this mod, is there any possibility of compatability between the two anywhere down the line? I absolutely adore this mod but I couldn't possibly choose between this or Conquest!
Hanatsuki
heey! Thanks!
There's a menu for that!
Hi Salty, loving the mods!
Would it be possible to add an option (either toggle or on the slider) to turn off the flickering?
Hi ! I think it doesn't work with greenhouse or large windows ?
I've set all indoor stuff to 0 via the menu (thanks for adding that !).
However, indoor, without any opening but large windows, lanterns still sway, but in my cellar with only hard walls, they stay still.
Rooms are rooms, i have the icon from another mod showing i'm indeed inside an enclosed room, so that's not the issue.
SaltyWater I just realized that the problem is that your mod and Conquest vs. don't get along.
MrGloopy
There is a whole menu for that 🙏
A config to adjust the speed of the flickering would be nice, it's a bit too fast for me.
NeoB
not a vanilla lantern i'm afraid
uhhh
TrippyTheO
it's a very nice idea 🤔
Any possibility for a crossover with the Hanging Oil Lamps mod (by Lodey) as well? That mod makes the oil lamps hang from wires, which looks much better than the vanilla solution. But now with swinging lanterns I'm staring at my oil lamps like, "c'mon! Do something!"
Ah! Makes sense. Thank you 🙂
TheFifthRider
O sorry It is not a client side mod anymore.
You can edit to client, but chimes won't work.
SaltyWater I can't seem to get this mod working in multiplayer as a client side mod. I think the modinfo is not quite correct-- if it's "side": "universal" I think you want "requiredOnServer": false since it's purely aesthetic and doesn't need to be installed on the server to function. Alternatively, I suspect this mod would also work with "side": "client".
I changed it to "side": "client" on my end and it started working fine. Thanks for the mod! Very cool stuff, big fan of everything you do 😁
Ryilo
Sure! I'll add a config option to disable it! :p
SaltyWater : would it be possible to make the lantern's wall/ceiling movement optional with a setting? I had to downgrade to 0.1.1 because it was too silly even for me (and frankly, the way the lanterns are attached in-game, they look like they're not going anywhere. It would have been nicer to have them have an effect if mounted to chains or rope)
Hi, the lanterns inside my home or cells are moving too. Can it be fixed ?
This is not working as a client side mod anymore.
Silentfox
No probs! Hit me up if you find the incompatibility! ^^
oh, I guess I have to check my mods then lol, sorry
Silentfox
Tried here, not happening on my end!
The flickering settings from the newest update seem to reset every time the game restarted
Yeah, I'm having the same situation as Ryilo. The indoor lanterns are spinning like disco balls in my house.
Great mod! Is there any chance you could add a config option to reduce the intensity of the swaying? It feels a bit too strong, like these copper lanterns are made of paper instead of metal.
SaltyWater : I have them inside houses (that register as cellars) where in a room one is spinning slowly, upstairs it's spinning like crazy and in the next room is spinning very slowly, while in another room is wiggling as if it was outside... :D
For some reason, the lantern glitches in parts when placed on a wall.
Well... I have it in a "cellar" (lookout tower) at the ceiling, and it wiggles like there is no tomorrow xD
Haubix
It does!
When in a fully enclosed room (the game needs to register as a room) it won't be affected by wind, it will only spin ever so slightly.
@SaltyWater @Ryilo, Same here - could you add a check if the lantern is inside a room? ^^
Thanks!
Ryilo
Definitely haunted 😂
SaltyWater : ehrm... are the lanterns supposed to spin when ceiling mounted and inside a building? Or is the building... haunted? :p
I haven't tried the mod yet but it looks amazing, thanks for working on this!
It's amazing that it's just client side. 🎉
Slight incompatibility with Conquest texturepack, the lantern model breaks.
Beedy
simply remove the .ogg file inside the mod zip
Amazing! Can you please allow us to disable the lantern sound in a config?
I literally just did the "looked up and closed my eyes then exhaled" emote, after watching the preview video. Just goes to show how immersive and good it is.
The only thing missing is a single tear, rolling down my cheek. Yes, it's that good.
Immersion: 100

lantern jiggle physics
@Afroman726 you have to add this to the modinfo.json file in the mods zip file not the configuration file.
I added "requiredOnServer": true to modinfo.json and it still isn't allowing players to automatically download the mod when they join the server? SaltyWater
I know this is a client side mod but my friends are super lazy and don't want to manually download mods and i wanna force them to check out your mods LOL
This is something I could see actually going into base game, I love immersion inclusion <3
Afroman726
Because it's a client side mod! :p
but if you want that put this in the modinfo:
"requiredOnServer": true
This mod is AMAZING! I added it to a dedicated server im running and when my friends join the mod doesn't automatically download like other mods do you know why it would do that? SaltyWater
amazing concept wow
hey there! i'm getting a consistent crash loading my world rn that seems to be the fault of this mod D: which sucks bc i juuust added it and it was really cool D: i'm not super sure what exactly is going on w this crash report, but i figured i'd let you know about it while i'm troubleshooting how to launch my world again without a crash haha
(edit: disabling it did fix my crashing!!! unfort :()
bkconn I guess it means "immersive first person mode" and it's vanilla. You can turn it on in settings
When you say "It also raises both arms a little for better visualization (only for immersive fp, normal fp is cool)" is Immersive FP a mod? I'm not seeing my arms raised as high as the video example.
Thanks! Love it so far!
Is there any shot at this mod for 1.20? Or is the age of 1.20 over?
What would this game be without your mods?
Just leave the job application in Anego.
MRGOOSE
He's sipping Salty Water
MailMan1001
Sure! But uh.. there's no code that differenciates both hands in terms of sound 😅
why is the floppa thirsty now
Love your mods and this is another great addion to the mod list! But would it be possible for you to add an option in the config for sound volume and frequency? In main hand its fine but just a little loud, but in the off hand it goes crazy and squeaks with every step.
THE GOAT OF VS MODS 🙌
never stop never stop never stop
Mine who? Hold my what? Never heard of 'em. Salty's? Now that's a certified banger suffix to whatever mod.
He simply can not miss
It's a The Long Dark Vibe :D
Another banger from Salty
Love your mods, Salty <3
he cooked again
heya lad! this works on 1.21.1 yes? looks great though
another banger. love your mods
Dude the fact they havent hired you is crazy keep up the good work love your mods! :D
Awesome
loving your mods
Question would it be possible to create these to sway in the wind depending on the wind speed \ direction as well when placed to give that wonderful sound?
At this point I need an auto-follow mod for all of Saltys mods!
BOOM! Anotha one. Thanks so much salty!
Insert Jesse Pinkman saying: "He can't keep getting away with it!" that's pretty much my reaction everytime Salty posts another BANGER mod :D
Salty out here making another game what? That's actually hyper impressive!
Salty, you really are incredible. Pretty much every one of your mods is an instant add for me and my group, and every last one is loved and adored.
Thank you for another banger, and all of your tireless and extremely appreciated work!
Sheeeesh, you da goat
💯I would not be suprised if most of your mods find their way into the base game in a few years📎
Antonisky
Akaston
Thanks guys! I'll rest once VS = Real life! 😎
Damn, Salty never gets tired of sending these delicious things ^^
Salty's out here with another banger.
