Perfect Light (Survival Light Blocks)

by OrpoPro

Perfect Light adds invisible light-emitting blocks that players can place, adjust and remove, and it is installed on the server side.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.5 – 26.3

What it does

Light blocks from this mod are invisible, so a room can be lit without the light source appearing as a block on the map. Players craft the default light blocks, then right-click a placed one to change its light level, using a stonecutter recipe to set the value. A hold action shows the light blocks in the world so they can be found and removed.

Server owners who want the full set of light blocks install the mod on the server, and players need nothing extra for the lights to work. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20.5 – 26.3, and it can also run as a data pack. Visible Barriers is an optional dependency that adds barrier visuals for the invisible blocks. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files. Perfect Light is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Full control light blocks

    Invisible light blocks can be placed and set to any supported light level, giving builders precise control over lighting.

  2. Adjust and remove by click

    Right-clicking a placed light block changes its level, and a separate action removes it from the world.

  3. Displaying light blocks

    Holding the item shows the invisible light blocks in the world, so their positions can be checked at a glance.

  4. Default crafting recipes

    The standard light blocks are craftable with ordinary survival materials, so lighting is available without commands.
