Beltborne Lanterns — free hands, bright path

Press B while holding a lantern — it snaps onto your belt. Walk, jump, fight — the lantern sways with physics and casts light near you.
Need it back in your hands? Press B again. 💡

🧩 Why it’s awesome

• One key, zero hassle. Stop digging in your inventory: B instantly attaches or detaches the lantern.
• Living light. Physics makes the glow feel real — a gentle sway as you move and turn.
• Immersion without compromise. Hands free, light by your side — explore, build, survive.

⚙️ How to use

1. Hold a lantern.
2. Press B — it attaches to your belt.
3. Move around — it sways with you and casts light near you.
4. Press B again — it detaches.

Dynamic lighting note: the in‑world light effect requires a dynamic lighting mod — see FAQ.
