Absolute Realistic Door Light

Closed doors, trapdoors, curtains and shutters finally block light – no shaders needed. Windows let a faint glow through, and modded doors are detected automatically from their own textures.

What's new

1.0.0

First release, for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric, Forge), 1.21.1 (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge) and 26.1, 26.2, 26.3 (Fabric, NeoForge).

  • Closed doors and trapdoors stop block light and sky light. Opening them by hand or by redstone brings the light back immediately.
  • Door halves with a window let a faint glow through: a lantern right in front leaves light level 2 behind it. Both halves of a door are handled separately.
  • Vanilla doors and trapdoors use profiles checked against every original texture, including copper (1.21+), pale oak (26.1+) and poplar (26.3).
  • Doors and trapdoors from other mods are checked automatically: the server reads their block models and textures and finds real window openings per door half. Tested with Macaw's Doors.
  • The server decides and sends the result to every player, so client resource packs cannot change it.
  • The open part of a closed door block is drawn with the light of the side it is open to, and smooth lighting never blends light across the leaf: no glowing door frames, with smooth lighting on or off. Works with the vanilla renderer, NeoForge's smooth lighting and Fabric's Indigo renderer.
  • Another Furniture (optional): all 27 curtains and shutters block light when closed.
  • Light saved before the mod was installed is recalculated around doors as chunks load and after a datapack /reload.
  • Datapack block tags for pack makers: windowed, windowed_upper, windowed_lower, opaque, extra_barriers, excluded.
