Hiya, nice work on this mod! I think it's really great.

After having problems with the latest version running on minecraft 1.16.5, with fabric api 0.29.4 and architectury-1.3.83-forge i tested some older version and came to the conclusion version 5.5.4 is running without any problems on minecraft 1.16.5 , dont know why though.

Note: 
architectury-1.3.83-forge is not needed with the older version of lightoverlay

I am using Optifine with a custom texture pack and using SEUS Renewed shader while playing DW20 1.16.4. Light Overlay works with Numbers great. I hope this helps someone else :)

For people reading the comments below this one thinking Light Overlay is a hot mess, it honestly isn't — At least, on 1.16.4. Just fetch the latest versions of Architectury, Fabric API and this mod. No problems so far.

 And then 1.16.5 happened :P

I just downloaded it but i can't start Minecraft with the following message:

• Could not find required mod: lightoverlay requires {architectury @ [>=1.2.67]}

Could someone help me please?

Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, it works. Was my fault. I used the wrong Architectury

 O` man, I have this problem too and I don't know how fix it, can u help me pleasee? :)

In reply to luck_man05:

 Sure, I downloaded and installed Fabric with Java. Then i downloaded FabricAPI, Architectury (Fabric) and the Light Overlay mod. All 3 with the version 1.16.4.

Then i moved these 3 mods into the 'mods' folder and it  worked.

alright I am trying to solve my problem on my own but to my understanding this mod is compatible with forge and Fabric api and I am using forge. from what I have read on this and the downloads page I should be able to just install it right? anyway I have gotten a message that this mod requires Cloth-config and Architectury. I have downloaded both of them and placed them in my mods folder from here https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/architectury-forge AND https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config-forge these have satisfied those requirements. AND it works as soon as i disabled my shaderpack!

• Could not find required mod: lightoverlay requires {fabric @ [>=0.29.1]}

it says this when i try to boot up minecraft i have both fabric api and archtecture help

After I gave a damn and tested some more, I've written a blog post on Planet Minecraft detailing the issue and how to get it working today.

Confirmed working on open-source systems for Fabric 0.10.8 with Fabric API 0.29.1.

Confirmed failing on open-source systems with OptiFabric 1.8.13.

Test conditions: Three profiles; Fabric "Core" I use as a template, "Basic" mods that I use across all profiles, "OptiFine" with OptiFabric and OptiFine binary. Of the three, the last fails to open, crashing with an indiscernible error unreported by Fabric.

I'll shoot a message over to the OptiFabric devs and see if they can help you figure this out.

 It keeps telling me I need clothconfig installed but I have it installed right from the listed link.  I was using this mod a few months ago on fabric but coming back to MC I can't get it working on forge at all despite having the two additional required mods installed.

In reply to BrekiTomasson:

 Same here, I even ran it without this mod but with Fabric API 0.29.1 in the hopes of fixing it, it didn't.
