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.
Mod Integration
JEI is supported for displaying recipes.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm THE MOD IS VERY LOVELY also what do you do with pennants I'm very confused to be honest other the less KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Hi, love this mod, but I'm having an odd issue where the light and string will sometimes just be invisible. The fasteners will still place fine, and the string and lights are there as I can see the outline when hovering over them, but they are just invisible. This happens with seemingly any kind of light. I can get around it by just placing it over and over and sometimes it will work for some reason, but even then sometimes they'll go invisible upon reloading the world. Seems really inconsistent for some reason.
Edit: Discovered the issue was with an entity culling mod improperly rendering the lights invisible, blocklisted the lights in that mod and it works now.
Hey, would you mind sending your config for the skipHiddenTileEntityRenderingBlacklist ? I'm having the same issue and don't know at all what to put here to make the lights visible, thx in advance !
Hey there, just wondering if you'd consider registering the individual lanterns as blocks instead of entities in regards to rendering, in some larger builds having the lanterns disappear at 64 blocks of distance is too close too appreciate them at a distance where you can see the full build, having them be considered as blocks would allow them to be seen as far as your render distance.
Regardless thank you for your work, I really like your mod.
I've been led to assume you can change string color. How do you do that?

Hey, if you check out the "hanging lights" example recipe, the bottom left hand example will show you where to place the dye to color the string (:

thanks!
That's probably one of my most favorite decorative mods of all. It adds so much to the game feeling and looks especially good with any realistic-ish lighting shaders at night. Thank you so much for supporting the latest Minecraft versions!
Hi i'm new to modding Minecraft so im sorry if this has been asked or answered before but does this work with fabric and if not do you have any future plans do that later on? Thank you!
could you maybe update the 1.12 version i would love to have the moon lights in it
Hi! You probably won’t reply since you have a bunch of people commenting but I would appreciate it if you could explain how to insert this download into Minecraft. When I downloaded it and tried clicking share it didn’t give me an option to share to Minecraft.

Are you doing this on a phone because I don't think you can download mods from this website with a phone but I'm not really sure. Hope this helps you!
In reply to uglymushroomgirl:
