Decorative Lamps
by Tobs
Decorative Lamps adds dimmable lamps that players switch by hand or with redstone, and the ceramic screwdriver selects among four modes for each lamp.
What it does
Each lamp has four modes that the ceramic screwdriver cycles through: on and off controlled by hand, on and off controlled by redstone, 16-stage dimming controlled by hand, and 16-stage dimming controlled by redstone. A right click or a redstone signal can switch a lamp, so a world can be lit by hand, by circuits or by a mix of both.
The lamps are offered in several shapes and colors, including umbrella, paper lantern, chandelier and normal ceiling variants, plus glowstone and sea lantern slabs and stairs. Redstone builders can use the dimming levels for lighting effects, while the simple on and off modes light a room with one action. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.2, and the code is covered by the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Redstone lighting
Builders wire lamps to circuits and use the 16 dimming stages to create lighting effects that change with the build.
Room lighting by hand
A single right click switches a lamp on or off, which suits rooms that do not need automated control.
Who it’s for: Players who want more lamp types for building, and redstone builders who need dimmable light sources. Server owners add the mod on both sides so every player sees the same lamps.

This mod adds new lamps that look better than the vanilla lamps. They can be switched on and off with a right click or redstone and provide light for every part of your world. ### Whitelist for Zeus weapon > With the new command or the new config file, the OP can decide who is able to get/use this item. >
