Colorful Redstone Lamps

by Pasuki

Colorful Redstone Lamps adds redstone lamps in the sixteen vanilla dye colors, plus inverted variants that light up when powered, for builders who want colored lighting in their circuits.

FabricNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each dye color has its own lamp block that lights up when it receives redstone power, joining the vanilla redstone lamp with a set of colored versions. Inverted variants stay lit until a signal turns them off, which matches the behavior of the classic inverted lamp and suits setups that need a light to switch off on command. The blocks are craftable in survival with the usual vanilla ingredients, so players do not need creative access to get them.

The mod is aimed at redstone builders who want lighting that matches the rest of a build without extra logic. Modern cities, cozy interiors, industrial layouts and fantasy structures all gain a palette of colored light sources. It needs Architectury API, which must be installed alongside it. Colorful Redstone Lamps is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across eleven game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Sixteen colored lamps

    Each vanilla dye color has a matching redstone lamp that glows in that color when powered.

  2. Inverted lamp variants

    Inverted versions of the colored lamps stay lit by default and switch off when they receive a signal.

  3. Vanilla-style crafting

    Lamps are crafted from familiar vanilla materials, so they fit into survival progression.

  4. Redstone-compatible blocks

    The lamps respond to redstone signals in the same way as the vanilla redstone lamp, so existing circuits work with them.
