Overview
Night Lights expands the visual toolkit of Minecraft by providing new light-emitting blocks that focus on decoration rather than utility. Builders can choose from a selection of styles to match the aesthetic of any build.
New Light Blocks
The mod introduces fairy lights that hang from surfaces, casting a soft, ambient glow ideal for gardens, interiors, or festive displays. Night lights sit low on the ground and emit a gentle illumination, perfect for pathways, courtyards, or subtle accent lighting. Here's the thing, both blocks behave like regular blocks: they can be placed, broken, and stacked, and they emit light automatically without needing hidden light tricks.
Compatibility
Night Lights is client side: required and server side: required, meaning every player and the host server must have the mod installed for the new blocks to appear. It supports the three major loaders Fabric, Forge, and Neoforge. The mod has been tested on the following discrete Minecraft versions: 26.1, 1.21.11, 26.1-snapshot-6, 1.21.10, and 1.21.9. No other versions are listed as compatible, so using the mod outside this set may result in missing content or crashes.
Licensing
Night Lights is released under the GNU LGPL v3 only. This license permits sharing and modification of the code as long as the terms of the LGPL are followed.
Getting Started
To use Night Lights, place the downloaded JAR file into the mods folder of your Minecraft installation, then launch the game with the appropriate loader. The new light blocks appear in the Creative inventory under the Building & Decoration tab. They can be placed like any other block and will emit light immediately.
Who Might Enjoy It
Players who enjoy designing houses, villages, or public spaces will find the extra lighting options useful for controlling ambience. The mod adds visual variety without altering gameplay balance, making it a pure aesthetic enhancement for both single-player creations and multiplayer worlds.
