Well&#8230; technically not, as long as your hardware will be capable of storing all light sources, you&#8217;re fine! The default max value is 1.5k lights, but this could be vastly increased (don&#8217;t recommend going over 4096 tho, as it would start dropping FPS pretty quickly on the powerful GPUs too)<\/p>\n<p>You can customize any block to glow exactly how you want it to!<\/p>\n<p>The reason why this mod exists is fairly simple: issues take too long to get a response, not even a fix. My issues got declined, so this mod is a thing now.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of bugfixes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>mobs DO color red when hit<\/li>\n<li>Hand lighting is actually correct<\/li>\n<li>Particles respect colored lighting<\/li>\n<li>Pretty much-unlimited amount of lights is possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Specify light shading mode in configs (max color \/ add colors)<\/li>\n<li>Custom JSON file to make blocks of choice light up with colors<\/li>\n<li>Non-tile blocks can add light each frame instead of each search cycle<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">(NEW) Lux Packs!
