Night Lights
by El_this_boy
Night Lights, a Decoration mod by El_this_boy, adds more than 20 lamp and light block types for building modern, medieval and futuristic structures.
What it does
The mod adds lights in many styles, from elegant designs and advanced technology looks to medieval lamps. Many of them come in more than 10 models, each with a dark version, so a build can mix bright and unlit fixtures. The lights suit modern urban builds and futuristic constructions as well as older settings.
Lights can be placed against walls, ceilings and floors, so they fit the architecture of a room rather than only sitting on the ground. Several also work underwater, which makes them useful for aquatic bases and decorations. Night Lights is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 only. It is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 and is not open source.
