🌈 Chroma Light

Coloured light for Minecraft, no shader pack needed.

Soul fire glows ice-blue, redstone glows red, amethyst and portals glow violet. A torch in your hand paints the cave as you walk. Vanilla lighting stays as it is: same reach, same shadows, same mob spawning. The light just gets its colour.

✨ Features

• 🎨 Coloured lamps. Colours spread and blend naturally, and walls stop them just like vanilla light.
• 🔮 Stained glass. A lamp behind red glass lights the room red.
• 🔥 Moving light. Held torches, burning mobs, blazes and fireballs light the world round them.
• 🕯️ Flickering flames. Torches, lanterns and campfires flicker gently.
• 🎛️ Colour editor. Look at any block and press I to give it your own colour.
• 🧩 Mod lamps. Lamps from other mods take their colour from their texture.

Every feature has its own switch in the settings.

🖥️ Shader packs

With Complementary, Euphoria Patches, Photon, BSL or Bliss, Chroma Light passes its colours to the pack's own coloured lighting. Switch that lighting on in the pack's settings. The in-game page Config → Shader packs: how-to shows where to find it.

📦 Compatibility

Client-side only, works on any server. Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge. Works with Sodium, Iris and Distant Horizons.

Mod and resource pack makers can add colours with a single JSON file. See assets/<namespace>/chromalight/.
