Fairy Lights
Fairy Lights adds dyed light sources to the decoration palette, giving builders more colour choices than the standard dyes on lamps and torches.
What it does
The mod adds new light blocks in several colours, including light grey and light blue, so lighting a build can match its colour scheme. Each new block is made by pairing a dye with a familiar light source, such as a torch surrounded by iron nuggets or a sea lantern, which keeps the recipes close to vanilla crafting.
Fairy Lights works as a small decoration addition for survival worlds and creative builds alike. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code, issue tracker and wiki publicly available. Its first release came out on 2025-07-09, and the latest Fabric file, version 1.1.1, was published on 2026-04-29.
