Lightest Lamps

by Prefex

Lightest Lamps adds lamps with a longer light radius than vanilla, along with underwater lamps, glowing pillars and glass, and a block that pushes mobs away.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.17.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Several lamp types extend the light area beyond the vanilla range of 15. Some reach 16 up to 30 blocks, and underwater lamps have their own extended light area. An interdiction lamp pushes mobs away from its base, and machine crafting recipes produce the lamps, so they are not limited to hand crafting.

The mod also adds more glowstone types, new resources, a full black block, and decorative pieces such as glowing pillars, glowing glass and a hanging lantern shaped like a fruit. Lightest Lamps requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric, and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional, and the author recommends REI. It runs on client and server and is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 8 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License. The source code is open source.
