Effect

While wearing boots with the Light Rune applied, you automatically place light sources along your path as you move. This is incredibly useful for cave exploration, as you never need to stop and place torches manually.

Tips

  • One of the most convenient quality-of-life runes in the game -- never fumble with torches again.
  • The light trail prevents mob spawning behind you in caves, making mining much safer.
  • Combine with the Bouncy Boots if you want both fall protection and automatic lighting.
  • The light sources are permanent, so your explored caves stay lit for future visits.
