Dynamic Streetlights
by zigqora
Dynamic Streetlights adds a standalone streetlight block for Fabric, letting builders light roads, parking lots and city blocks without relying on fences and glowstone.
What it does
The block is a detailed streetlight model meant for modern city builds, city roleplay servers and scenes that need realistic street infrastructure. Players place it as a single decorative prop, so a road can gain lighting without a lot of extra pieces.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric alone, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, in the alpha channel under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Realistic streetlight model
A functional streetlight block with a more detailed shape than wooden fence posts topped with glowstone.
Standalone decorative block
The lamp is placed on its own, so roads and sidewalks can be lit without building a separate support structure.
Lighting for scenes
The light it casts suits atmospheric worlds, machinima sets and any build where street lighting sets the mood.
Lightweight addition
The mod is a single decorative prop that adds to a street without bringing in a large set of unrelated furniture items.
