Latest release (for outdated Vintage Story v1.20.1):
cob_cavebeacons_1.0.9.zip
1-click install
This is a stand-alone version of a mod originaly created for the 'CoB' Server Pack.
Mod description:
Cave beacons can be used to lead your way through larger cave systems. They won't spend much light, though.
Beacons can be crafted. Glow worms are needed for this, so this mod makes glow worms harvestable as well.
Besides using the worms for crafting beacons, you may also use them as home deco or as paint on blocks.
The treasure hunter (trader) may sell the blue light version of these beacons as well sometimes.
This version of the mod is free to use on any multiplayer server.

There was a mod that added "lobster hearts" to some locusts as portable light sources or an alternative to candles in lantern crafting, maybe something like that as an alternative or suppliment to glow worms?

Perfect for all those "APC Destroyed" moments.
these remind me of SS13
@rayray You have to grind the "Glow worm bit" you get from breaking the roots (glow worm portions that have a blocky bit on the end) in a quern. You can also place and rebreak the roots to get the bits again and again to get as many bits as you need for grinding. There's no other use for the bits and you never get enough bits for grinding for all the glow worm portions if you don't do this trick.
? HOW TO GRIND THEM TRIED HAMMER TRIED QUERN TRIED PULVER SORRY FOR CAPS BUT THIS GAME KEEPS MAKING US CAPS LOCKS HAHAHEHEHE
it does work in 1.18.5 and also in 1.19 pre
Does this mod still work in version 1.18.15?
I'm excited to try this! Glad it's up-to-date. Harvesting glow-worms to use as a perpetual but low-light source seems a vanilla-friendly way to create in-cavern waypoints, making spelunking less daunting for those of us navigationally-challenged. Thank you!
It's the key that you have set for "Select Tool/ Clayforming Mode".

How do you open the icon menu to choose what to put on a wall? just mark the symbol of a houseShould be fixed now Thranos
I'm unable to harvest glow worms with this mod. I've tried hands, a knife, and shears. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not functioning properly anymore?
Thanks for this! I play singleplayer so I tend to avoid the server packs since they are usually most beneficial for and balanced to multiplayer. But something like this is quite useful. Very nice work.
