Lever & Button Lights
by kreezxil
Lever & Button Lights turns levers and buttons into light sources, with colored variants made from stained glass for building lit decorations on Forge.
What it does
Buttons behave like levers and levers behave like buttons, so either can switch a lit block on and off. Pressing a lit button or lever again turns its light off, and the block emits a redstone signal of level 15 while on and 0 when off. The hit boxes of the button and lever models are tightened so the block lights sit closer to the surface they are attached to.
Coloured light comes from the Albedo library, which lets these sources emit real colored light into the world. Players craft the colored button lights by placing one colored stained glass pane in a crafting grid. A glass block light is also included, made from plain glass, with solid textures added for sixteen new button variants. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.11.2 and 1.12.2, with 3.4.0 for 1.12.2 as the latest file.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. The license is MIT, and the source code and issue tracker are public, so the mod is open source.
