Zippo Lighter suggestion | pash

WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
I just thought the item used (Out of resource pack) to represent the Zippo Lighter should be switched to something like a torch, lantern, etc. to make the lighter function with the dynamic lights video settings

(Swear if this gets opposed too I'm quitting suggesting)
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:

It's not hugely beneficial but would actually be very cool. People could use lighters in dark locations or the lighter, generally, would have an actual lightning affect after it which would be a cool reflection. I'm unsure if this can happen but thought I'd put this here since it's cool and if it can happen then why not x-x





(There is a lighter in my hand in the first screenshot if it's not clear)

Neutral, leaning on -1

pretty sure this would make it so people can't use those items in editmode which could be a big bummer, not to mention all the torches/lanterns and whatnot already placed down

That would be a flaw but, other than that, it is indeed cool. I didn't really take that into consideration but who knows, they could be able to make it still

Also, I'm unsure what you mean in the second sentence but, I'm saying dark places. Clearly, a location where there already is stuff such placed isn't considered dark but I mean sewers, caves, whatever you go to discover

what i meant is that there's already a ton of torches and lanterns placed down, meaning if this was implemented they'd have to remove all of them or it'd look funky

This doesn't matter actually as when holding it in your hand it has a different texture to when it's placed down, e.g. the soul lantern looks normal when placed, yet looks like a handheld flashlight when it's in your inventory. This is entirely possible :D

OH okay that makes sense, i retract my statement

Not to mention, there are more than a few unused blocks / items that should work with dynamic lights that the lighter could overwrite. Typical @Ghostfire L moment



Good idea, however, -1.

You better not be lying.

The flashlight is already over the soul torch texture, we just add a second model data for that that doesn’t switch.

Or even cooler we have the second model data so it can be flicked on and off, cosmetic but fun to use.

you can sit in a chair in the middle of an empty concrete room, flicking it on and off wearing tactical gear and monologuing about laser sights

One problem I deal with often: not being able to see ANYTHING when I'm using my shaders. I enjoy using the shaders I've found but in dark areas, it's hard to see. (ESPECIALLY the sewers. i cannot see ANYTHING in the sewers LOL)

i havent been able to find where i could get a flashlight either- so...

+1, seems like an interesting tool to add up for roleplay

Flashlights are meant to be publicly sold, no shops have choose to picked them up, however, that or it hasn’t been added to the public items roster yet

I'm sure if it works on a flashlight, it can work on lighters too. Since they can implement such thing already, it would still be cool if they add the effect to the current lighter too. It would be very nice pulling out your lighter and instead of just an old, dry items, a new effect of it actually glowing. You can use your extra lighter in dark locations or just enjoy the effect of it actually producing some light while you light your cigarette.

If they want to make both items slightly different, they could look for blocks that give a different level of glow and just give the stronger glow to the flashlight.

if you can make the flashlight have a noise ill sell it at my shop

Neutral Leaning to -1 , this actually does not work without shaders, and as someone with a shitty PC I cannot even run SRP on a solid 30 FPS, it's a cool idea but it would be locked behind a sort of PC requirement, being able to run shaders

That’s no reason not to add it simply because your pc isn’t strong enough to run it, not everyone gets a slice of cake at the end of the day and it seems like you are one of those left out of it

we already have flashlights that use shaders, no reason not to add this.

We also have mods such as Lambs dynamic lighting which add that lighting without the shaders.

we already have flashlights but no idea when they will be public
