Item Lights is a Vintage Story mod by Taska. Item Lights lets held or dropped items illuminate their surroundings, including candles, Temporal Gears, and the creative Wand.
Why this mod is worth installing
Useful for players who expect a lit candle to provide real light and for modders who want custom items to work as light sources.
What Item Lights adds
Item Lights corrects the difference between blocks and items in Vintage Story. A torch already illuminates its surroundings, but ordinary items normally remain visually bright without casting usable light when held or dropped.
The mod makes selected items function as light sources in the world. Candles, Temporal Gears, and the creative Wand gain practical illumination, so carrying or throwing them can help reveal nearby darkness.
It also provides a system that other mods can use for their own items or blocks by assigning a suitable light-value attribute. This makes Item Lights useful as both a gameplay tweak and a foundation for custom luminous objects.
