ColorLight

ColorLight / ColorLight with Shaders / Vanilla

ColorLight is an attempt to bring colored lighting support to a wide range of mods and resource packs without relying on a predefined list of light-emitting blocks, while still allowing users to customize that list manually.

ColorLight works with all shaders, whether they already support colored lighting or not. The mod is also compatible with most optimization mods, although there are some exceptions. You can find more information or report compatibility issues on the GitHub issues page.

ColorLight can also be used for map making and building projects, as it allows you to create custom light sources using commands. Multiplayer support is planned, allowing custom light source data to be synchronized with other players.

How It Works

When the mod detects a light-emitting block, it:

• Finds the block's texture.
• Analyzes the texture.
• Determines its dominant color (currently with varying accuracy).
• Uses that color as the block's light color.

Configuration

All current mod settings are available through Sodium.

The General tab allows you to:

• Enable or disable the mod.
• Enable predefined lighting (a built-in lighting configuration for vanilla blocks only).
• Adjust the light radius.
• Adjust the lighting balance.

The Blocks tab allows you to:

• Enable or disable lighting for individual blocks.
• Set a custom light radius for each block.
• Customize the light color for each block.
