Description

Colored Light

Every light in Minecraft gets its own color, and stained glass tints the light that shines through it. Works with or without shader packs.

Features

  • Every light its own color. Torches, lanterns, campfires and lava glow warm orange. Soul fire glows blue, redstone glows red and copper torches glow green. Amethyst and nether portals glow purple, froglights glow in their own colors, and sea lanterns, end rods and beacons glow cool white.
  • Real stained-glass tinting. Light that passes through stained glass takes on the glass color and carries it into the room beyond. Shine light through red and then blue glass and it gets tinted twice.
  • Colors blend. Where two colored lights overlap, their colors mix naturally.
  • Works with shader packs. With Iris and a shader pack turned on, Colored Light adds its colors to the pack's terrain lighting, so your torches, lava and stained glass stay colored.
  • Fully adjustable. Use Color Intensity to go from a faint hint of color to fully saturated, and Glass Strength to go from barely tinted to extreme. Stained-glass tinting can also be turned off entirely.
  • Client-side only. Nothing to install on the server. It works on any server, including vanilla ones.

Settings

Open the settings with Mod Menu (Mods > Colored Light > Configure) on Fabric, or with Mods > Colored Light > Config on NeoForge and Forge.
