New in 2.0 - The Physics Update !
Lanterns react to your actions!
- Hit them. A left click swings the lantern the way you struck it. Knockback weapons hit
harder!
- Walk into them. Running into a lantern shoves it aside!
- Shoot them. With Arrows, snowballs, eggs and more!
- Blow them up. TNT, creepers, wind charges and ghast fireballs send a shockwave that
pushes nearby lanterns away from the blast.
- In multiplayer, other players' hits and their bumps into a lantern show up on your screen.
- Create ans sable are now supported!
- Fully customizable and optional. Tweak it to your liking, or disable it entirely using the mod menu or the json config file.

One thing worth knowing
Pass-through collision needs the server to have the mod. Whether you bump into a block is decided by the server, so on a vanilla server you are stopped by the lantern no matter what the setting says. The toggle in the settings tells you when that is the case. The swinging, the hits, the explosions works on any server.

You may use this mod in any modpack without needing to ask for permission.
