FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

The Krathong block is a decorative candle that floats on the surface of water, placed in the same way as a lily pad. It is meant to recreate the Loy Krathong festival of Thailand, where small floats carrying candles are set on water at night. The block emits soft candlelight at light level 12 and gives off gentle flame and smoke particles, so it glows over the water after dark.

Builders can use the block to decorate ponds, rivers and other water features for events or scenes. Its light is said to reflect on the water and to work with shader packs. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It requires Fabric API. Files exist for Fabric only, for game versions 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest build is v1.21.1-1.0.3 for 1.21.1, published 2025-11-09. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
