UDP Lighting Blocks
by UnDeadPotato
UDP Lighting Blocks adds vivid, colourful light sources that players can craft with recipes that stay close to vanilla.
What it does
The mod adds bright lighting blocks in a range of colours. Their recipes use ingredients a player already has access to, so they do not skip any step of normal progression. Lighting blocks fit rustic builds, factory interiors and futuristic designs alike, including space bases. Only the client needs nothing extra, since the server and every player must both run the mod. It is published for Forge on 1.20.1, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Vivid coloured lights

Vanilla-friendly recipes
