More Lighting Variants
by CorrinVC
More Lighting Variants adds copper, soul and campfire-style decorative light blocks, plus copper candles that oxidize over time.
What it does
Copper candles imitate vanilla candles and stack up to four on one block, including on top of a cake. They ignite with flint and steel or a fire charge and burn with green flame. Copper candles also oxidize over time like vanilla copper blocks, and honeycomb waxes them to stop that process. Scraping with an axe reverts oxidation or waxing, and a lightning strike deoxidizes them.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.1 as the latest file for 1.21.11 on both loaders. Only the client and the server need it, so the server and every player install it. The code is under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Who it’s for: Builders and decorators who want more light sources that fit copper and soul-themed structures, on single-player worlds and multiplayer servers.
