Cam's Better Lights
Cam's Better Lights adds a set of new light sources for decorating builds, with lights that can be toggled by redstone.
What it does
The mod adds lighting blocks in a range of styles that brighten interiors and exteriors without relying on torches or lanterns. Lights can be toggled with redstone, which lets a build switch its illumination on a timer or from a sensor. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge, and it needs to be installed on both the client and the server. Files cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.5.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest release, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Decorative light sources
New lighting blocks are meant to brighten rooms, facades and gardens while keeping a build's look.
Redstone toggling
Lights switch on and off when powered by redstone, so they can be wired to circuits or timers.
Placement at set heights
Blocks can be set at different heights and positions, which suits both interior lighting and outdoor fixtures.
