Create: Realistic Lighting 1.0.0 — First Stable Release

This release marks the completion of the initial stable version of Create: Realistic Lighting for Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge.

New Features

Native Create: Power Grid Integration

• Fully integrated with Create: Power Grid's electrical network.
• Removed the legacy FE/RF power system.
• Added native electrical connections to lighting fixtures.
• Implemented bulb-specific power consumption with a default nominal voltage of 120 V.

Realistic Voltage Mechanics

• Added voltage-dependent incandescent dimming.
• Added low-voltage flickering behavior for Fluorescent, LED, and Grow Bulbs.
• Implemented accelerated bulb wear under unfavorable electrical conditions.
• Added overvoltage damage and burnout mechanics.
• Added voltage thresholds and hysteresis for stable operation.

Lighting Improvements

• Implemented extended omnidirectional LED lighting with a 24-block radius.
• Improved illumination centering, brightness falloff, and obstruction handling.
• Retained Grow Bulb crop-growth acceleration.

Fixtures and Controls

• Three functional lighting fixtures: Ceiling Light, Wall Sconce, and Industrial Cage Fixture.
• Industrial Cage Fixtures support all 16 vanilla dye colors.
• Replaceable Incandescent, Fluorescent, LED, and Grow Bulbs.
• On, Off, and Redstone operating modes.
• Updated fixture GUI with electrical readouts and a color-coded bulb lifespan indicator.

Bulb Lifespan System

• Added persistent, precision-based bulb wear tracking.
• Bulb lifespan responds to operating voltage.
• Bulb wear persists across removal, replacement, and world restarts.
• Added remaining lifespan information to bulb tooltips.

Configuration and Performance

• Added configurable electrical and lighting behavior.
• Added client-side flicker configuration.
• Improved extended LED lighting performance.
• Updated mod metadata and documentation for stable 1.0.0.

Testing

Local testing covered:

• All four bulb types and three fixture types.
• Electrical power connection and disconnection.
• Undervoltage and overvoltage behavior.
• Redstone and manual operating modes.
• Bulb wear persistence.
• Multiple simultaneous fixtures.
• World save and reload behavior.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.x
• Create 6.0.10 or newer
• Create: Power Grid 0.6.2 or newer
• Java 21

Important: Create: Power Grid is required. FE/RF power is not supported.
