Light It Up

by AtlasPlays

Light It Up lets players craft Light Blocks whose brightness can be changed, so a base can be lit without torches or lanterns showing.

What it does

Light Blocks are crafted in a survival-friendly way, and each one can be set to a chosen light level from 0 to 15 by standing inside it and using the light level trigger. Light levels only range from 0 to 15, so any value beyond that is not available. The mod is a small, lightweight datapack that runs on the server, while players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 15 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3, and is not open source; the license is All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Adjustable Light Blocks

    Each crafted Light Block can be changed to a different light level within the 0 to 15 range.

  2. Hidden lighting

    Light comes from blocks that blend into a build, so the look of the base is not broken by visible torches or lanterns.

  3. Trigger-based changes

    Standing inside a Light Block activates a light level trigger that changes the block to the chosen value.
