LUMP: Less Ugly Mob Proofing
by bdev42
LUMP: Less Ugly Mob Proofing adds an Amethyst Beacon block that stops mob spawns across a wide area at night, so torches are not needed around a base.
What it does
Placing an Amethyst Beacon prevents hostile mobs from spawning within its range, and the effect depends on sky light, so the blocks it covers are only affected where they would otherwise be safe during the day. Interiors can be lit up by the player, and mob farms in the same area keep working through the long nights. Caves remain dangerous until they are lit, because the beacon does not reach underground spaces on its own.
The mod is aimed at survival play and at reducing torch spam around a base. Amethyst Goggles, worn in the head slot, show a color-coded light overlay where mobs can spawn, and the overlay stays on screen while equipped. With advanced tooltips enabled, the F3 and H combination displays a legend for the overlay. The beacon and the goggles both need oωo (owo-lib) to be installed alongside LUMP.
LUMP is published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.20.6 – 26.2 across 17 release versions. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

How it compares
GiveMeSomeLight is a client-side only mod released under the MIT License and published for Fabric 1.20.4 – 26.3, so it changes nothing on a server. Nocturnal Bats is a server-side only mod, also MIT-licensed, for Fabric 1.19.4 – 26.3, and players join without installing it. Area Light Up and Light Level Overlay are narrower: Area Light Up is server-side only for 1.21.11, and Light Level Overlay is client-side only, for 1.21.11 – 26.2.

What the author says
LUMP aims to eradicate torch spam around your base, without affecting your mob grinders or other farms. It achieves this by adding a craftable block, called the Amethyst Beacon, which prevents mob spawns within its range, but only for blocks that would be otherwise safe during the day (it is skylight based).
