A huge rewrite of this mod is underway and nearing completion. This will fix all previous bugs and issues. You are welcome to join my discord to be in the loop as it happens. Due to the new way Minecraft 1.17+ renders stuff, this mod is not possible past 1.16.5. This project will be removed in the future
This mod is the API and Colored Lighting engine used by Hyper Lighting on Minecraft 1.14.4+. This mod doesn't do anything on it's own, but when used with Hyper Lighting or by other mods/resource packs it allows blocks/items/entities to emit colored light.

How to use this mod

Optifine support
NO! NO! AND AGAIN NO! This mod uses shaders and is therefore not compatible with optifine nor will it ever be.
* BUG REPORTS MADE ABOUT ISSUES RELATING TO OPTIFINE WILL BE CLOSED AND IGNORED! *
Troubleshooting
If you suspect this mod causes any issues with your game, you can help isolate it this way:
- * Disable Colored Lighting from the configuration either in game or the config file.
- * See if the issue you spotted persists. If no, then re-enable colored lighting and see if the issue appears again. If yes, then it probably isn't this mod, but try running the game without the mod just to be sure.
If you have found a bug, report it using the Issues tab above. The more detail you give, the quicker it will be to identify and fix bugs.

Known Issues
1) Entities do not flash red when being attacked or hurt. I am trying to figure this out and will fix it as soon as I find the cause - This should have been fixed by release time. If not, please log a bug report
2) Light leaks through blocks. This is something that is SUPER HARD to fix, and is probably something that will never be fixed. However, this may change in the future
3) Hit boxes are broken on 1.16.
4) Lights have random on/off glitches in 1.16
5) Fog rendering is broken 1.15/1.16
Development notes
1) A 1.15 version is in development, however, a somewhat unknown issue causes everything in Minecraft to turn bright red. Until this issue can be figured out and solved, there will be no 1.15 version. No release date is known either
A 1.15 version is now in testing and will be released in beta soon
It is possible to make this mod to 1.18.1?
In reply to derickbr_gamer123:
Read the description and comments before asking that.
If you check the original mod page though the mod author said that they are making an updated version called RGBLib but it's not yet released.
Putting this as a notice to anyone coming across this in the future...
This mod is NOT available for Minecraft 1.17 and above, and will never be. The new rendering system in Minecraft has made it completely incompatible with Minecraft itself
Between this mod and "Hyper Lighting [Forge]" I'm a bit confused.
is this just a fabric port of that mod, or is this an eventual rewrite of both fabric and forge? Because Hyper Lighting [Forge] has been updated to 1.18, but this hasn't.
What's the situation with them both?
Hi, I don't seem to get any colored lighting. Is this gonna be like this until the release of the rewrite? Now that I think about it, the Create mod requires a custom rendering engine, could that be the cause? I will try without it and update this comment.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I do have Hyper Lighting installed. Also I don't see any changes when I disabled Create's rendering engine, Flywheel.
Update to fabric 1.17.1 please and thank you. ^_^
is the mod on 1.16.5 Forge in development?
In reply to huetete:
Yes the mod is still being developed. Minecraft has changed so much between 1.14 and now, that it is really difficult to get the mod to work properly. You're welcome to join my discord to follow along on development
WOO! Thanks so much for releasing a Fabric version, I love this mod so much, it really makes a massive difference to the atmosphere of my builds
does the fabric version for 1.17 work in 1.16.5?
In reply to Nathan22211:
what fabric 1.17 version???

In reply to Nathan22211:
It probably would. I held off on releasing the other fabric versions because of sodium. It's not compatible
In reply to hypherionsa:
a lot of mods that use FAPI rendering aren't so you're not alone in that regard. Most work with canvas however and that's usually only updated for release versions
I noticed this updated to 1.16.3; is there going to be any mods that go with this coremod releasing for 1.16.3 any time soon? I haven't found anything that works with this mod aside from Hyper Lighting (which is for older versions of Minecraft).
In reply to Nova_N4:
Hi. No not yet. There are two mods in development that will support it. For now, you can add your own lights using the JSON API
so this is updated to 1.16 eh :))
There is a 1.15 test build available with Developer API and JSON API for modpack makers to add their own lights. If you are interested in trying it out, send me a message on my discord: https://discord.gg/PdVnXf9
Will you update this 1.15.2? I wanted to use colored lighting for my mod, but there is no colored lighting api currently for 1.15.2
In reply to maximOP_:
As noted in the development notes above, a 1.15 version is planned and actually coded already, but a bug in minecraft (with their new lighting and rendering engine) is causing everything to turn bright red. I am doing research on how to get this fixed, but until then, I can't release the 1.15 version yet
