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.

does tthis work on 1.14? DD;
Can someone please tell me how to download this I’ve been trying for so long and can’t figure it out I’m trying in pe if anyone can help??

I am pretty sure you cant download mods on PE
In reply to skakuwgqhaiai17:
If you're trying to download and install on PE, then you can't with curseforge. Last time I played PE (which was years ago, before redstone and minecarts came out on it) I had to install a separate app for it (which had limited mods).
Curseforge is for Java edition of Minecraft. Try looking up a tutorial on how and where to get mods for Minecraft PE.

Hi! I believe my shaders (BSL on High profile) are conflicting with the Fairy Lights mod, the hanging lights are squares of a solid color instead of transparent-ish, tho they do emit light as usual. The lights look normal when I turn my shaders off. Do you happen to know what kind of video setting could be causing this or should I directly contact the shaders author about this issue? ((
or should I resign to seeing solid color lights around my town? TuT))Hello, is there a chance that you can make this into a 1.14.4 version?
Hi! I really love this mod and have been using it for a while, I kind of had a few cosmetic suggestions if that is okay. I was thinking maybe an alternate cable for lights that looks more like rope than actual cable would be cool for more "rustic" modpacks. Also for more nature themed lights. Maybe lights that look like bio luminescent seed pods, fruit, or leaves. A vine-like cable would be pretty cool for those. That's really the only suggestions I have. I hope they gave you ideas for what could be added.
Any chance of a version for 1.14.3?

With the hanging lights, I am noticing a lag spike when turning them on or off when the strand is very long. With the debug stats enabled, it looks like activating the lights causes a surge of chunk updates. Perhaps there is a more efficient way of handling this, such as breaking up the operation over multiple ticks?
those who are on creative mode or somthing and can't place witch hats and other things i had the same promblem what you do is make a normal light either one you get from creative mode or one you make with a piece of string and 2 iron then add the witch hat or skull or whatever and then you should be able to place them. wish there was an easier way for ppl on creative mode but the mod is so good and simple and things that its fine how it is :p
This mod is very good.
the possibilities of decoration are almost endless
How do I installe it
One issue; Whenever I put in more than 5 of them it lags the game badly! But I still wanna use it, but the lag is holding me back sadly... Please fixe this!
you had me at spooky lights
Using 1.12.2 version and for some reason in my game only the hanging lights, the garland, and the pennants seem to work. I don't know why but all the lanterns, icicles, meteor lights, etc do not seem to work unless I'm doing it wrong. I've tried on both the walls and the ceiling, as well as fences and nothing seems to work with placing them. I've tried holding a lantern in my hand while crouching and clicking on the hanging lights thinking that would maybe change the pattern but it doesn't seem to

First time using the mod, and it's great so far! I am having this same issue however.
In reply to kachinas:
try this, first, craft the light, then use that light to craft the thing described in "Example Hanging Lights recipes", it takes 2 iron, 1 string, and any combination you want of 1 to 6 lights you crafted before, after that, you can place the hanging lights
