# Colored Lighting<\/p>\n
This datapack makes it possible to customize the lighting of your builds based on the light source you are using to decorate it.<\/p>\n
Old preview (test version, it’s smoother now and doesn’t have text, the orange is also less red)
\n<\/p>\n
### Visual limitations<\/p>\n
– If a block emit a specific light, it will only be visible if you are 15 blocks close<\/p>\n
– If 2 differents colored light sources are close, both light source will emit the color of the closer light source.<\/p>\n
– If you use this datapack on an already generated world, you will need to manually get close to each light to trigger the colored lighting<\/p>\n – The datapack relies on custom biomes to use custom block light tint, which means that **if a block emit a specific light, it will only be visible if you are 15 blocks close** _(or in the said biome)_ (which will automatically be set if someone get close the light block once).<\/p>\n – It also means that if 2 differents light sources are close (campfire & soul campfire for example), the color you will see emitting from both light source will be depending on which light source you are closer to.<\/p>\n – If you use this datapack on an already generated world, you will need to manually get close to each light to trigger the colored lighting<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Knowns issues (beta 1.0):<\/p>\n – The lighting modifies the biome it’s in, but doesn’t take into account the current biome’s mob spawn, color; there would need a specific yellow, pink, blue etc biome color for each biome that take into account the original biome settings & values, which means a total of 930 additional files (465 biome files & 465 functions), and 27702 more tick commands This datapack aims to add block based colored lighting mechanics from bedrock to java.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43992,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"colored-lighting","_minecraft_project_id":"dFdXxJxZ","_minecraft_author":"ThirtyFangs","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":255,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"colored-lighting.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":90664,"_minecraft_version_count":6,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T20:08:34.856487Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-04-11T04:56:31.859619Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-16T15:49:55.276393Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/colored-lighting","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":43992,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T01:22:03+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"75891a2f17adab4217eee9ce2ba6b7f1","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,97,104,89,158,98,92],"mod_loader":[86,99,106,160,100],"minecraft_version":[83,167,163],"class_list":["post-43991","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-datapack","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\nMore details<\/summary>\n
\n – If you are in a desert, place light, and remove it, zombies will spawn instead of husks, for example
\n – This doesn’t affect the nether nor the end
\n– Most of the issues are fixed in beta 1.1 or ready to be fully implemented, but this version uses more ram<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
