Description
Realistic Lighting
Bring realistic electrical lighting to your Minecraft world!
Realistic Lighting introduces powered light fixtures, replaceable bulbs, realistic energy consumption, and electrical controls to Minecraft Java Edition.
Designed for builders, engineers, and technology enthusiasts, the mod adds functional lighting that integrates with Immersive Engineering and Ender IO while remaining usable without either mod installed.
Three Customizable Light Fixtures
- Industrial Cage Fixture — An industrial-style light with a protective cage, suitable for factories, workshops, and warehouses.
- Square Flush-Mount Ceiling Light — A compact ceiling fixture for modern interiors, offices, and laboratories.
- Wall-Mounted Sconce — A decorative wall light featuring a curved arm and exposed bulb.
All three fixtures are available in 16 dye colors.
Four Realistic Bulb Types
| Bulb | Energy Usage | Active Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Incandescent | 20 FE/t | 30 Minecraft days |
| Fluorescent | 10 FE/t | 90 Minecraft days |
| LED | 5 FE/t | 300 Minecraft days |
| Grow Bulb | 15 FE/t | 90 Minecraft days |
Bulbs wear out only while illuminated and can be replaced through the fixture's interface.
Each fixture has a 100 FE internal energy buffer.
Lighting Controls
Every fixture includes an interactive GUI with:
- Replaceable bulb slot
- Energy storage and consumption information
- Remaining bulb lifespan
- On, Off, and Redstone operating modes
- Redstone signal status
Technology Mod Integration
Immersive Engineering
Connect compatible fixtures directly to Immersive Engineering LV wires, without separate wire connectors.
