Light Overlay (Rift/Forge/Fabric)
This mod provides users with a NEI-like light overlay.
This mod requires Rift, Forge or Fabric. (Fabric API, Cloth Config (Fabric) and Architectury are required for Fabric, Cloth Config (Forge) and Architectury are required for Forge)
Light Overlay is a client ONLY mod, putting this on a server will do nothing.
Press F7 to toggle the light overlay, configurable through Controls Settings.
A yellow cross means that mobs can spawn at night, a red cross means that mobs can spawn anytime.
Config:

Known Issue:
This mod does not work well with OptiFine shaders: https://github.com/shedaniel/LightOverlay-Fabric/issues/5, however you can use the number display mode which will work with shaders.
Fails like below for me too, I'm certain I had the correct versions of both files.
Not working, and I don't get it
In reply to Trelior:
Did you make sure to download all of the mods dependencies? They can be found in relations.
In reply to thelonewolfgirlplays:
I've reinstalled Fabric, I've grabbed what I *thought* were the dependencies, and put them in the mods folder.
Could have sworn it wasn't this hard to get working on 1.16.4
In reply to Trelior:
Looking at that image you sent all it should have required is the architectury mod. nothing else should have been required unless the architectury mod has its own dependencies that you have to download.
In reply to thelonewolfgirlplays:
Architectury says it only requires Fabric, I have the most recent versions in my mod folder, but it isn't working.
In reply to Trelior:
The Architectury version in the screenshot is wrong ... You have installed the one for 1.16
Do you plan on updating to 1.17 at some point? If so, no rush. Quality is more important
In reply to entitycrammingtv:
yes, I am on it
In reply to shedaniel:
Awesome. thank you!
now that fabric modloader is on CF app for the launcher, it may be a good thing to have the fabric versions added to required dependencies
just so you don't get folk constantly coming to you saying that the forge versions of architectury and cloth config are being installed instead of fabric versions
CF app should be able to determine the difference between the two versions of what it installs in the required now as long as it's tagged properly I believe.
With the latest version of the mod and all dependancies, I cannot use the F7 key. I have to remap it to another key for it to work.
Here's a suggestion for an improvement. If a halfslab is placed, perhaps don't draw the overlay on top of it? Same goes for torches, fences, bamboo, pretty much anything smaller than a full block that stacks. Makes the screen super ugly when you see all those numbers/lines stacked on top of each other.
You have
Architectury API (Fabric)
Cloth Config API (Fabric)
set as embedded libraries in the project, maybe you should set them to required libraries, like the Forge versions.
In reply to calloatti:
I could only assume that's just done on purpose to separate the two lots of versions so it's clear what is what
and the description does clearly state
" This mod requires Rift, Forge or Fabric. (Fabric API, Cloth Config (Fabric) and Architectury are required for Fabric, Cloth Config (Forge) and Architectury are required for Forge)"
anyway :)
In reply to BradW0:
The problem is not what is in the description, the problem is the CF API, but now I realize they set them that way because of the CF launcher (probably)
Third party mod updaters rely on that info for dependencies, but so does the CF launcher.
It should be changed from embedded to something else anyway
Tried to use newest 1.16.4/5 v5.8.0 on a snapshot 21w14a (1.17 with deep world). It bootups well, but when I press F7 it crashes with
so 1.16 version doesnt work with snapshots. Hope author make version for snapshots, light overlay can be ultra-useful in deep caves.
Does the newest 1.16.5 Fabric file work with Fabric 1.17 (aka Snapshot 21w11a)? If not please consider porting.
In reply to TheMarksmanXII:
Test it . That’s the best way to find out . Most likely it won’t work though
In reply to BradW0:
Well, as far as I can tell the latest Architectury does not work with 21w13a, so can't tell about light overlay. :-)
I add a plea to port to 1.17 too. Those huge caverns need lighting, and it's impossible to do without Light Overlay! :-)
