Miner's Helmet

🔦 What is it?

This is a very simple mod that just adds a mining helmet that lights up your way in dark areas such as caves and ravines. Zombies can spawn with Iron Pickaxes, and mining helmets. There’s a config option to disable this.

🧪 Latest Updates

• The mod now supports Minecraft 1.19!
• The mobs that spawn as miners is now a tag, #mining_helmet:miner_mobs, and has been expanded to Husks and Zombie Villagers alongside the original Zombie for customizability
• Added Lucent Support, (see below)!
