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
Example Hanging Lights recipes
Vine & Tinsel Garland
Pennant, Step-ladder, Letter bunting
Pennant bunting is made by first crafting pennants that can be any dye color.
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.

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)

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!
In reply to SheppardOfFire01:
Are you playing the latest available download? There was a similar reported issue which I previously fixed. If not could you provide me the crash report?
can you make a 1.8.9 version?

Yess!!! I'm so happy!!!
A Question will Monsters Spawn? or are they gonna be like torchs and they wont spawn?
In reply to lovegoddesspearl:
The hanging lights do provide block light as a torch would.
Why is the stepladder an entity rather than a block in 1.12.2? It could still have functionality even as a block. As an entity, it can cause lag.
