hueCraft

About

Extend Minecraft to your room with this mod. Let your Philips hue lights extend Minecraft experience by changing the color and brightness of your room. Each biome is mapped to different colors and the color of the lights will change as you travel from one biome to another. Even when you are in the water your lights will turn blue. The light intensity in room will be the same as in Minecraft. Day-night cycle and different light sources will change the brightness of your lights, but also caves and other dark places will make the brightness go down.

A full immersive experience with hue!
