DigiLights
by digiduncan
Colored lamps for building come from DigiLights, a Forge decoration mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds lamps in several colors and color-temperature variants.
What it does
Crafting uses simple recipes built from cobblestone, sand, glass, redstone dust and glowstone dust, so the lamps can be made early in a survival world. Lamps can be switched between smooth and rough surfaces with sand and rocks, and a crafting table turns a lamp inverted. The White Lamp is the base recipe, and the blackbody lamps are made by adding torches for a warm light or snowballs for a cool one.
The mod is made for building projects that need light in specific tints, and a gallery of available blocks shows the full set. The author notes that the mod was first made for a private SMP, and more blocks are planned for later releases. Only the Forge loader is supported, and the mod is for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. DigiLights is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Colored lamp blocks
Lamps come in a wide set of colors and styles, all made from common materials.
Smooth and rough finishes
Sand smooths a lamp, and rocks roughen it back, changing the look of the same block.
Inverted lamps
A crafting table inverts a lamp, giving a second form for placement and design.
Blackbody color temperature lamps
Warm lamps are made with torches at 2000K, and cool lamps with snowballs at 10000K, both starting from the White Lamp.
