Craftable Light Blocks

by derexXD

Craftable Light Blocks lets players craft light sources from vanilla materials, so light blocks no longer require Creative mode or commands.

What it does

The mod adds light blocks that can be made with recipes in the vanilla crafting system, provided through a datapack. Survival worlds can obtain them through ordinary crafting, and a stonecutter cycles a block through several light levels. Players can switch between light levels without commands or cheats.

Key features

  1. Vanilla crafting recipes

    Light blocks are obtained through standard crafting recipes, distributed as a datapack, so survival play stays intact.

  2. Stonecutter light modes

    A stonecutter cycles a light block through its different light modes.

  3. Adjustable light level

    Players can toggle the light level of a block, which suits building and lighting work.

What the author says

You can now craft the Light Block), perfect for survival worlds who want this obtainable in a vanilla friendly way. You can also use the stonecutter to cycle through the different light modes, because outside of Creative / cheats there is currently no way to toggle the light level.
