ForgeClient and serverGNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.7.10

What it does

Lamps and lights made by this mod can emit colored light rather than plain white light, and the colors are set through its own blocks and crafting recipes. Colored lighting covers a large set of blocks from other mods, so lamps from those mods can take part as well. The 32 colored lamp recipes can be disabled in the config for servers that do not want them.

The mod is built on FalsePatternLib, FalseTweaks, Lumi Lighting Engine Optimizer and UniMixins, which are all required and must be installed alongside it. Beddium, Right Proper MCPatcher and SwanSong Shaders are optional and extend the lighting on the client. Colored Lights (RPLE) runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Files exist for 1.7.10 only, with 2.2.4 as the latest Forge build, published on 2026-09-21. The mod was first released on 2024-06-25 and has since been updated with the 2.x line.

Key features

  1. Colored light sources

    Lights can glow in a set of colors instead of plain white, giving rooms and builds a tinted look.

  2. Support for other mods

    Colored lighting is applied to a large set of blocks from other mods, including Advanced Solar Panels, Applied Energistics 2 and Biblio Woods.

  3. 32 colored lamps

    Thirty-two colored lamp variants are available through crafting recipes, and the recipes can be disabled in the config.

  4. RGB lighting implementation

    The mod is described as the first RGB lighting implementation for Minecraft, applying per-channel light values to blocks.
