LightCraft
by JMasterPro
LightCraft lets players craft invisible light blocks that brighten an area without visible torches or lanterns.
What it does
A light block placed by LightCraft gives light to the area around it while staying invisible, so a room can be lit without torches, lanterns or other visible sources. The recipe is shapeless and needs one potion from a set of listed ingredients: shroomlight, sea lantern, froglight or glowstone. The Modrinth page notes that a potion-specific recipe does not work, and the recipe can be limited to an invisibility potion. The mod requires the server, while clients may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 12 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.2, and the code is under the MIT License, though it is not open source.

What the author says
Light block is very useful- it allows you to light up area whitsout random torches or lanterns. Unfortunatly right now it is impossible to set crafting recipe to specific potion: so right now any potion will work. Later when it's possible I will limit it only to invisibility potion.
