Description

C2ME-Betterlight

C2ME's own light engine for Minecraft 1.18.2. An add-on for C2ME-Forge.

C2ME-Forge ships with Starlight built in. Install C2ME-Betterlight next to it and C2ME's own light engine takes over, on the server and on the client: both how light spreads and how it is stored.

Why switch

C2ME-Betterlight Built-in Starlight
Wrong light values players saw (client test, 5 runs each) 0 94
Worst frame at spawn (client test, average of 5 runs) 133 ms 185 ms
Average FPS (same test) 564 566
16,129-chunk pregen, dedicated server (5 runs each, alternating) 72.6 s 72.4 s
  • Correct light where you play. In our client test (teleporting into new terrain and back, five runs each, same C2ME build), players saw no wrong light at all with C2ME-Betterlight, in every run. With Starlight, one of the five runs showed 94 wrong values.
  • Exact on the server. The light it stores and saves matched a full relight in every test world we ran: overworld, Nether, End, chunk borders after a world is extended, 5,000 block edits and their undo, Biomes O' Plenty, Twilight Forest and other world generation mods.
  • Fewer hitches, same FPS. The worst frame was smaller in 4 of 5 test windows (at spawn 133 ms against 185 ms, averaged over 5 runs), at the same average FPS.
  • No pregen cost. World pregeneration is as fast as with Starlight (72.6 s against 72.4 s, a difference smaller than our test can measure).

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.18.2 with Forge 40
  • C2ME-Forge 0.2.0-forge.8.2, exactly this version. The add-on works closely with C2ME's internals, so each release is made for one C2ME version; any other version is refused at startup with a clear message.

Installation

  1. Install C2ME-Forge 0.2.0-forge.8.2.
  2. Put c2me_betterlight-1.0.0-all.jar in the same mods folder.
  3. Start the game or the server. The log says C2ME light engine active.

No config needed. Install it wherever C2ME-Forge is installed: on a server it lights and saves the world, on a client it lights what you see, and singleplayer gets both.

Good to know

  • Easy to switch off: start with -Dc2me.lightEngine.c2me=false and the built-in Starlight runs instead, no need to remove the jar.
  • Steps aside for other light engines: with Starlight, Radon, Phosphor or ScalableLux installed, C2ME-Betterlight does nothing and your light engine keeps working.
  • Your world stays a normal world: the light it saves is read by vanilla Minecraft and by Starlight, so you can remove the add-on at any time.

License

All Rights Reserved. You may use C2ME-Betterlight in singleplayer and on servers, and include it in modpacks that download it from its official page (for example CurseForge modpacks). No re-uploads and no modified versions. The full text is in the LICENSE file inside the jar.
