Fairy Lights adds decorative hanging lights that can have any combination of six light variants each with one of the sixteen dye colors.
Crafting
In order to craft hanging lights you first must craft the lights. Lights come in many variants, fairy light, heart light, moon light, star light, paper lantern, orb lantern, flower light, candle lantern, oil lantern, snowflake light, icicle lights, and meteor light. There are also spooky lights, spider light, ghost light, jack o'lantern, skull light, witch light.
Fairy lights are crafted by a horizontal combination of iron ingot, string or stick, iron ingot, along with any combination of lights to specify a pattern (left-right, top-down). If glowstone is included the hanging lights will twinkle. If string is used there will be slack in the connection and if a stick is used the connection will be straight. The hanging lights item will only show the first four light colors, but the most lights that can be crafted is eight by placing a hanging lights in a crafting table with eight lights.
Here are the light recipes where the red dye in the recipes can be any dye.
Example Hanging Lights recipes
Letter Bunting, Vine & Tinsel Garland
Pennants
Here are some example pennant bunting recipes.
Fairy Lights Usage
Right click the hanging lights, garland, or bunting on the side of a block, or an existing fastener to place a fastener, now there will be a connection from the fastener to you. From then you right click on another side of a block, or an existing fastener, to complete the connection. The maximum length of a fairy light strand is 32 blocks.
The slack of hanging lights, garland, or bunting can be increased by right clicking it with string and decreased by right clicking with a stick. Hanging lights can be turned on and off by right clicking.

Hello! I really enjoy your mod and have been having fun with decorating. Sometimes the lights just kinda disappear though, and don't drop an item? I'm not sure why but that's been happening.
Also are there any plans to update to 1.17+?
This mod doesnt cover 1.17.1! I hope it does when it updates!
Hello! Love the mod! I love the hanging lights, the colored lanterns, etc.
But I keep having texture issues, and I can't find any mentions about it or any potential fixes.
The transparent/glass textures in every light model flickers like crazy, to the point where it's too distracting to use any of them.
I'm using 1.16.5 with optifine. No shaders, but a bunch of other mods that I am pretty sure do not affect textures or lighting. Is there any fix for this? I'd love to use these lights, but even the non-colored oil lanterns and bulbs flicker terribly.
This is a really cute mod! Is there any possibility for a fabric port in the future?

I was just about to ask this haha!
In reply to emiifox:
I completely agree!
Question: I recall this mod used to have a ladder in it, is there a chance that that might come back someday? I loved that dang ladder lol it was so great to have
How do I make the lights twinkle, I've like hit them with glowstone dust but that doesn't work, is it a crafting thing?
nice man. good job.
New to mods, will 1.16 work for 1.17?
In reply to airsurfer06:
I don't think it will work in 1.16.5. Because Forge doesn't have the 1.17.1 update so no it will not work in 1.17.1
hi ! im having a very weird and specific issue where when i enable fairy lights, it changes the BYG Rose Field Biome that my build is in to the BYG Warped Desert biome? what in the world. could be causing this. ive confirmed it is fairy lights that's causing this change, and it affects the entire area of the biome it's in, and none of the adjacent biomes
(using 1.16 for everything btw)
does this work in 1.12.2
?
My Fairy Lights is invisible :(, i am using in 1.16.5 with Optfine U G8
