Hidden Redstone Lamps
by Eevee_17
Hidden Redstone Lamps, by Eevee_17, adds 68 redstone lamps that are built from wood blocks and look like other blocks in the game.
What it does
Each hidden lamp works like the vanilla redstone lamp: it lights up when powered by redstone and goes dark when the signal stops. The lamps are added in variants based on oak, spruce and birch wood, including stripped versions, so they can be placed where a plain lamp would look out of place.
Other lamps are crafted by replacing the oak planks in a recipe with the desired block, which lets builders match a lamp to surrounding materials. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on 1.19.2 and 1.21.1, with the 1.2.0 build for 1.21.1 as the latest file. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases
Hidden lighting in builds
Builders can light a room without a visible lamp, since the fixtures look like ordinary wood or stone blocks.
Matching existing materials
Lamps can be made from the block that fits a build, so a lamp blends into the surrounding walls.
Who it’s for: Builders who want working redstone lighting that does not stand out in a design, and players who want the lamps without changing their recipes.

Fox Lamp is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, so players join without installing anything. Colorful Lamp is also server-side only and MIT licensed, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8. Hidden Redstone Lamps is different: it is client and server, needs both sides to have the mod, and covers 1.19.2 and 1.21.1.
