ColorLight

ColorLight — A mod that adds colored lighting

Features

• Automatic lighting for modded blocks. With ColorLight, you no longer need to manually define lighting for blocks added by other mods. The mod automatically detects their light emission. If you don’t like the result, you can customize the lighting settings to your liking.
• Customizable light propagation. You can switch from vanilla diamond-shaped light propagation to a circular one. If that’s still not enough, you can fine-tune lighting behavior directly using resource packs.
• Command-based lighting. If you’re a builder, you can create lighting effects using commands. This works both in singleplayer worlds and on servers.
• LOD mod support. Colored lighting is supported by LOD mods such as Voxy and Distant Horizons.

Compatibility

ColorLight is compatible with many mods when the Shader lighting (GPU) setting is enabled. When this setting is disabled, ColorLight is compatible with all mods that support the Fabric API.

Technical Details

Resource Packs

As mentioned above, you can customize lighting behavior. But that’s not all — you can also configure individual blocks and the mod’s settings using resource packs.
