About the Miner’s Helmet
The Miner’s Helmet should hopefully remove the need for you to use Torches. When it’s equipped, the area in front of the player will light up. It’s not insanely bright but helps.
Recipe for the Miners HelmetTo craft the Miner’s Helmet, combine 3 Iron Ingots, 2 Leather, and a Lantern inside a Crafting Table. Another good idea would be to go into your game’s video settings, and ensure that the Brightness option is set to maximum.
The mod also makes some minor changes to Zombies. They have a chance of spawning wearing a Miner’s Helmet, as well as an Iron Pickaxe. Interestingly, it adds immersion to the world, as it feels like they’re Miners, who got trapped in Minecraft caving system.
In the configuration files, you have the option to disable Zombies naturally spawning with a Miner’s Helmet and Pickaxe. There’s also an option to adjust the brightness, which you might want to change.
