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 six standard variants, fairy light, paper lantern, orb lantern, flower light, ornate lantern, and oil lantern. There are also 4 spooky lights, spider light, ghost light, jack o'lantern, skull light, witch light, snowflake light, icicle light, and meteor 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.
Spooky Lights

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.

please update for 1.15.2
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this is one of my favorite mods. The lights are so charming and always add a nice touch to my homebases and builds. Keep up the good work, dude! Great job!
if it isn't too much to ask, pls update to 1.15.2 🥺
In reply to meuhuntoasted:
Yes please 🥺😭🙏🏼
Why does this happen?
I don’t know how to download it :(
In reply to chicken_yic:
there's a download button on the top-ish right side of the screen, or if you scroll down a little there's a little section called "recent files" and you can click the green arrow to download whatever version you'd like
love it!
i hope a 1.15.2 comes out soon :[
I would love this mod so much if there was a possibility you could put it on the Minecraft Pocket Edition store since I am currently saving up for Minecraft on my laptop! If you ever do think about it, I would love to hear the updates towards it!!
I like the look of this mod, but when i load it up, the error message says: Fairy lights: Requires Minecraft Forge 14.23.5.2847 or above (you have 14.23.5.2796) but i have the right version.!
In reply to b1gcheese5000:
That is the wrong version. Yours says 2796 and the required is 2847. When you go to forge, get the latest. Hope this helps!
In reply to b1gcheese5000:
You have 1.12.2 yes but you don't have the right FORGE version. You have to get the latest Forge version, not the "reccomended" one they have on their website.
I absolutely love this mod. I use 1.12.2 so i'm happy you've kept that up to date without forcing 1.14-15 so on.
I also however use Albedo Torches to make sort of a back light so the lights appear to have some color to the light.
The problem is the colored light source looks distractedly off to the side AND i need to have your hanging light turned off in order to have that color show through the white light.
It may not be possible, but are your thoughts about colored bulbs AND lighting? (Albedo works without Optifine, which i don't/can't use without some bugs)
Hello! I loooove this mod and im soooo soooo exited about the new updated verson for 1.5! How is it going? is it gonna have the same or more features? is there gonna be any removed feature? How soon will it be done? Thanks for your time and the best of luck updating this wonderful mod!

In reply to kawaiiwolficorn:
There is just part of rendering which needs to be rewritten, and I am currently a bit preoccupied with other projects. But it is 80% updated.
In reply to pau101:
Thank you soooo much!!!!! I absolutely can’t wait!!!!!
In reply to pau101:
You're doing so well! I'm super super impressed and amazed with this mod. We all appreciate your hard work!! <3
I also love how you're always responding to people who need help / experience difficulty. That's hard to find!
Hi! Thank you for this awesome mod! One of my favorite so far!
Do you have any news about the progress of 1.15 version ?
I really love this mod, but whenever I try to remove the lights to move them somewhere else, my game crashes. I'm currently on 1.14.4 and downloaded the correct version. Any Ideas why this is happening? Thanks!
