Soul Candles
by Agente_511
Players who want a dimmer light source for decorating soul-sand areas can use Soul Candles, which this Fabric mod adds to the game.
What it does
Soul Candles adds a candle type that behaves like the vanilla candle but burns with soul fire, giving off a dimmer light. Soul Jack o'Lanterns are included as a second new block. Each soul candle is crafted the same way as a normal candle, with Soul Sand or Soul Soil placed at the bottom of the recipe.
A soul candle can be dyed by combining it with the matching dye, so colored soul candles can be made from the base block. If the recipe is forgotten, it can be found in the recipe book or through recipe viewers such as JEI, EMI or REI. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.2.1+mc1.21.5 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
