Colored Lights
by Gegy
Colored Lights lets a block emit light in a chosen color through a Fabric resource-pack mapping from blocks to hex values.
What it does
Colored Lights adds tinted area lighting to the game by assigning a hex color to each block that emits light. The mapping lives in a JSON file under assets/colored_lights, so a resource pack can add new light colors or replace the ones already defined. Colors are approximate, since the lighting system compresses the color space. Only the client needs the mod, and it is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Files target 1.17 – 1.18.2 for Fabric, with 1.1.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest.

Note that colors aren't represented exactly due to the color space being compressed down. If replace is specified as true, the default values will be cleared. For any pack just adding…
