Lights
by x_halo
Lights adds light blocks that players craft from glass panes and torches, so buildings can be lit without flares or other bright items.
What it does
Light blocks are crafted from eight glass panes around a torch, which keeps the recipe cheap. A datapack makes the crafting possible, and the mod lets builders light interiors and facades more evenly than torches placed by hand. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Builds cover 1.16 – 1.21.6 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack also available.
Key features
Glass pane light block
Eight glass panes and a torch craft a light block that illuminates a building without an extra light source.
Even lighting for buildings
Light blocks spread illumination across a structure, where a single torch leaves dark gaps.
Data pack option
A data pack provides the crafting recipes, so the blocks can be added to worlds that cannot install the mod.
