Illumine Blocks
by kami
Illumine Blocks, a Fabric decoration mod, adds glass, glass pane, concrete and slab blocks in many colors that give off light at strength 15.
What it does
Each color comes as a glass block, a glass pane, a concrete block and both glass and concrete slabs, so a build can use one palette across walls, floors and trim. Every one of these blocks emits light at level 15, the maximum light a block can produce, which lets players light rooms and outdoor areas with colored surfaces instead of torches or lanterns.
The blocks are Fabric-only and work in single-player worlds and on servers. Client and server both need the mod installed, since the blocks are registered on both sides, and the same jar serves each. Illumine Blocks is published for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest file, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. The code is not open source under that license terms, which only cover the mod's own source.
Key features
Colored glass blocks
Glass blocks come in a set of colors, letting builders mix tints in windows, lamps and decorative walls.
Colored glass panes
Matching glass panes give thin dividers and stained-window effects in the same colors as the full blocks.
Colored concrete
Concrete blocks in each color emit light, so they can serve as bright floors or colored accents.
Glass and concrete slabs
Slab versions of the glass and concrete blocks let builders shape roofs, steps and ledges in each color.
