ℹ️ Fork Information

This mod is a direct fork of erykczy's Colorful Lighting. The goal of this fork is to expand compatibility with mods, renderers, and shader packs, making colorful lighting practical for larger modpacks. If you find an incompatible mod, please report it on the GitHub Issues page.

❓ How It Works

Every light source gets a color, and that color spreads through the world just like vanilla light. Filters such as stained glass tint passing light, absorbers remove colored light, and propagation runs entirely on a background thread to keep gameplay smooth.

The mod is completely client-side, so you can enjoy colorful lighting on ANY server without requiring server installation.

✨ Features

• Different blocks emit different colors
• Light changes color when passing through filters
• Blocks can absorb colored light
• Colors are fully customizable through resource packs
• Block states and NBT can define different colors
• Unconfigured modded light sources automatically sample colors from their own textures
• Water subtly filters light using biome water colors
• 100% client-side

🎨 Resource Pack Addons

Ready-made addon packs that add colored lighting entries for popular mods:

• Colorful Lighting for Supplementaries
• Colorful Lighting for Connected Glass
• Colorful Lighting for Tinted Campfires
