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.

Ender IO

Power fixtures using Ender IO energy conduits and control lighting using redstone conduits.

Both integrations are optional.

Adaptive Crafting Recipes

Realistic Lighting automatically adjusts its crafting recipes based on your installed technology mods.

Supported configurations:

  • Immersive Engineering + Ender IO
  • Immersive Engineering only
  • Ender IO only

All six crafting recipes adapt to the installed mods, creating a more integrated technology progression.
