Description
Assorted Light Overlay
Press F7 and the light level shows up on the ground around you, colored by whether monsters can spawn there. It makes lighting up a base or clearing out a cave a lot easier.
How it works
- Press F7 to turn the overlay on and again to turn it off. You can change the key in the controls menu.
- Each number is the block light at a spot where a monster could stand.
- Red is where monsters can spawn at any time.
- Yellow is where they can only spawn at night or in a storm.
- Green is where they can never spawn.
- It follows the spawning rules of the dimension you're in.
- Only spots with room for a monster get a number, so fences, walls and tight gaps are left out.
- The numbers update every couple of seconds as you move around or place light.
- It only needs to be in your own game, so it works on any server.
Config
These are in the assortedlightoverlay-client config file. They only change your own game, so everyone can set their own.
lightOverlay.radiusis how many blocks around you the overlay reaches. 16 by default, anywhere from 4 to 32.lightOverlay.showSafeshows the green spots where monsters never spawn. On by default. Turn it off to only see the unsafe spots.
Requirements
- Assorted Lib
- NeoForge, or Fabric Loader with Fabric API
Light Overlay also comes in Assorted Util with the other five Util mods, if you'd rather have them all in one download.
