NoopsNet Afterlight

Make a café glow after dark, line a hallway with colored trim, or give your shop a sign you drew yourself. Afterlight adds 75 decorative blocks for cozy builds, with customizable colors and lighting that you can adjust without replacing the blocks.

Choose from recessed inlays, shelf and corner trim, shaded panels, reading lamps, moon ornaments, arches, clouds, flowers, garlands, café signs, and double-sided teahouse signs. Warm wood, cream ceramic, and satin copper make the lights easy to fit into a home, a market, or a larger venue. Each light comes in six starter colors; three matching architectural blocks round out the collection. Blocks have crafting recipes and are also available in the Afterlight Creative tab.

Make it yours

Craft a reusable Colour Palette with a stick, a glow ink sac, and any dye. Right-click in the air to choose a color using the HSV picker, a preset, or an exact six-digit hex value. Use the palette on a light to recolor its luminous parts while keeping its wood, ceramic, and metal finishes. Sneak-use an existing light to sample its settings, or hold the palette in your offhand while placing new lights to give them the selected color.

The palette also controls glow and light reach independently. For example, you can keep a bright-looking decorative tube while setting its cast light to zero, or reduce its glow for a softer room. Compatible inlays and shelf/corner trim can join into straight runs, corners, T-junctions, and crossings; choose a fixed shape when you prefer separate pieces. Redstone power switches a light off, and removing power restores it. Saved colors and settings stay with the block when it is picked up and placed again.

Draw a sign

Right-click a Café or Teahouse Sign with an empty hand to open its 32×32 pixel canvas. Draw a shop logo, a cup of tea, or a small welcome message using any RGB color. The editor has brush, erase, fill, color-pick, and undo controls; save the design to the block or cancel without changing it. Teahouse signs show the same design on both faces. The artwork stays with the sign when it is recovered and replaced, and its drawn colors remain separate from the palette's frame color.

Requirements and lighting

Afterlight 0.5.4 is for Minecraft Java 1.21.1 and NeoForge 21.1.265. Install the matching mod on the client and server for multiplayer. The blocks work and provide ordinary Minecraft light without shaders. Colored light on nearby surfaces requires a compatible Iris/Sodium setup and an Afterlight- compatible shader preset; installing the block mod alone does not add that effect. Normal server build and claim permissions apply when painting or editing signs.
