Eggcat
by WinterWolfSV
Eggcat adds a decorative block to Fabric worlds that acts as a light source and can be switched off by clicking it.
What it does
Eggcat is a small Fabric decoration mod. It contributes one decorative block that gives light and that players can turn off with a click. The block appears in the creative inventory and can also be crafted at a crafting table, following a recipe the author documents on the project page. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files, and the mod is distributed for Minecraft 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20, with the latest Fabric file, 1.0.4, built for 1.20 on 2023-06-09.
Installing Eggcat requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The JAR goes into the mods folder of the Minecraft installation directory, and the game is then launched with a Fabric profile. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod for the block to behave the same everywhere.
