What it does

The mod adds two decorative light blocks, a Day Light Block and a Night Light Block, that behave much like the vanilla Light Block but change how much light they emit based on the current time in the day. It is built for servers, admins and creative players who want lighting that responds to the day cycle. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.1, and the client and server both need it.

Key features

  1. Day Light Block

    Emits light according to the current time of day, so it shines brighter during daytime hours.

  2. Night Light Block

    Emits light according to the current time of day, giving stronger output at night.

  3. Adjustable check interval

    A GameRule sets how often the new blocks re-check the time, trading update frequency against server load.
