Beltborne Lanterns: Accessories Layer

Compatibility bridge between Beltborne Lanterns and Accessories (WispForest).

Equip your lantern in the Accessories Belt slot — it works just like the default belt: sways with physics, casts dynamic light, and keeps your hands free.

🧩 What it does

Registers all Beltborne Lanterns items as valid Belt accessories.
Syncs the belt state — equipping via Accessories or pressing B both work seamlessly.
Fully client & server: renders the lantern on other players and emits light for everyone.

⚙️ Requirements

Beltborne Lanterns — the core mod
Accessories — the accessory API by WispForest

🔧 For Modpack Makers

By default, lanterns can only be placed in the Belt slot. You can customize this by editing config/bl_accessories_layer.json (auto-generated on first launch):

{
  "allowed_slots": ["belt"]
}

To allow additional slots (e.g. charm, necklace), add them to the list:

{
  "allowed_slots": ["belt", "charm", "necklace"]
}

No datapacks or item tags are needed — the mod handles slot validation automatically.
