Firefly of the Death

A Valheim mod that adds a blood-red firefly designed to guide you toward your last remaining tomb.

The mod is built to interoperate with shudnal's Firefly, which is a hard dependency.

Features

Uses a dark red light distinct from the normal Firefly.
Guides the player toward their last remaining tomb.
Normal Firefly and Firefly of the Death are mutually exclusive: only one firefly type remains active at a time.
Reusing the currently active firefly refreshes/reapplies its effect.
Configurable item recipe, stack size, weight, crafting station, crafting-station level, and duration.
Configurable indoor/outdoor light intensity, range, shadow strength, and light color.
Optional visible light source and flare.
