LumaTorch
by BaXu
LumaTorch lets players place invisible light sources with a dedicated Light Tool, so a room can be lit without visible torches or lanterns.
What it does
Players craft a Light Tool and use it to place light sources that have no visible block. A light level from 1 to 15 can be set and adjusted, and the current level is shown above the hotbar. The light sources are only visible while the Light Tool is held, which keeps builds clean in screenshots and finished interiors.
Invisible lights have no collision, so players walk through them. Existing lights can be updated or removed with the tool, and placed lights stay saved after a player leaves the world. The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer, so a server can use it the same way a single-player world does.
LumaTorch is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 26.1.2, released on 2026-07-28 as version 1.0.0. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Interior lighting
Builders light rooms and halls without torches or lanterns appearing in the design.
Map and adventure areas
Light can be added to decorative areas and custom maps where visible light blocks would spoil the look.
Who it’s for: Builders, map makers and server owners who want to light areas without visible light blocks. Players on a Fabric client and server can use it in singleplayer and multiplayer worlds.
How it compares
Invisible Light (Fabric, 1.20.2 – 1.21) is a client and server mod under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Bottled Light is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric across 1.21.10 – 26.3. Perfect Light has a different design: it is a survival light block mod that needs the server, with the client optional, and it is not open source.
