Salty´s Immersive: Lanterns is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty´s Immersive: Lanterns adds wind- and movement-based sway, flickering dynamic light, and sound to lanterns in Vintage Story.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose it if ordinary lanterns feel too static and you want handheld lights to respond naturally while exploring or building.
What Salty´s Immersive: Lanterns adds
Lanterns gain subtle physics-driven movement: their sway responds to player motion, speed, gravity, and wind instead of remaining perfectly still. Dynamic lights also receive a flickering effect, making illumination feel less artificial.
The L menu lets you adjust the behavior of flickering lights and placed lanterns. The mod also slightly raises the character’s arms in immersive first-person view, while head rotation influences the arms holding lanterns or torches.
The changes target dynamic lighting rather than the light baked into placed blocks, so the effect is focused on carried and actively rendered light sources.
