A Wearable Light is a Vintage Story mod by misterandydandy. A Wearable Light adds equipable head torches and belt lanterns to Vintage Story, with hotbar controls, fuel use, and rain-sensitive lighting.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits explorers who want hands-free illumination without carrying a light in the active hand. It is also useful for players who enjoy practical gear with a cosmetic touch.
What A Wearable Light adds
A Wearable Light introduces a head torch that does not require fuel, along with lanterns designed for heavy belt slots. Several metal variants are available, including brass, copper, iron, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, silver, and gold.
The lights are integrated with equipment slots rather than treated as ordinary hand-held tools. You can switch an equipped light on or off from the hotbar using a configurable keybind, or toggle it while hovering over the item in the inventory.
Belt lanterns use a fuel mechanic for a more involved survival experience. Candles, fat, and other valid fuel items can refill a lantern; fuel drains while the light is active, and the lantern shuts down when its supply runs out. Newly crafted lights receive fuel automatically.
The mod also supports configurable sound effects and can let rain extinguish a light when it is exposed to the open sky. Backpack equipment and backpack lanterns are listed as unavailable, so the currently usable focus is head and heavy-belt lighting.
Refueling
The refueling setup shows how a wearable lantern can be supplied with a valid fuel item such as a candle or fat. The same configuration area also controls light sounds and whether exposed lights go out in rain.
