Instead of rendering crosses or numbers on the top face of blocks, Lighty takes a different approach – It renders a transparent carpet-like block on top! Or, new in version 1.1.0 – Renders the actual light level numbers, but Lighty Style!<\/p>\n

Make sure to check out the Gallery for some pictures!<\/p>\n

## Configuration
\n– To activate the overlay, press `F7` and choose the desired mode. This key is configurable in the key binds menu.
\n– As of version 1.2.0, you can quickly toggle the light overlay on or off using `F8`! This key is configurable in the key binds menu.
\n– As of version 1.3.0, you can change the “red”\/”orange” threshold in the new config menu (accessible using `F7`). Useful for those that want to light their places up aesthetically, or maybe you are playing with some mods that change the mobs spawning rules.<\/p>\n

## Meaning of colors:
\n – Green: No mobs can spawn here!
\n – Orange: If the sun goes down, Mobs will spawn! Be careful!
\n – Red: Mobs can spawn here!<\/p>\n
