Lanterns-Lamps-Posts and lights
by oreonwhitby
Lanterns-Lamps-Posts and lights adds lamps, poles and railway-style signals that light up when a player right-clicks them, for decorating streets, yards and rail lines on Forge.
What it does
The mod covers lighting in a placeable form. Copper bulbs, small and large copper bulbs, oil lanterns and LED lamps in red, green, blue and white can each be switched on and off by a click. Steel poles, copper trestle poles and a steel pole with an arm give a base for hanging them, so a row of lamps can line a path or a road.
Signal blocks are part of the set as well: a green signal, semaphore signals in up and down positions, a level crossing signal and signal lamps that can be turned on or off. The author notes the models and textures were made by hand, and that early pre-alpha builds had glitches caused by bugs, most of which were fixed later.
The mod is Forge only and is published for Minecraft 1.20.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The author marks the file as a beta build, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Cave Lamps is open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge for 1.20.1, client and server, so it is a lighting option with the same loader and version. Colored Displays! is also Forge for 1.20.1 and client and server, but it is not open source, using the AFL-3.0 license. MÁV Signal covers railway signals on Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, so it fits the signal part of this set.

What the author says
this mod just exists for the point of adding more lamps and poles to the game. the lamps in pre-alpha versions (before the mod was on modrinth) used to glitch out a bit because of a bug wit trying to code the lamps to turn on when you right-clicked on them
