✦ Overview
Luminous Blocks adds glowing variants for every glass block and their pane forms.
They emit light when placed, making them ideal for glowing builds, ambient lighting, or underwater architecture. Compatible with beacon beams.

The icon overlay is to distinguish them from normal glass, this doesnt affect the placed blocks.
✦ Crafting Recipes
The Luminosity Wand allows you to right-click any Luminous Block to change the light level.
Three light levels: low (5), medium (10), and high (15).
Stick + 1 Glowstone Dust → Luminosity Wand

Crafting is shapeless, and light level is the same no matter which ingredient is used. All Luminous Glass is crafted by combining any glass block with a light-emitting ingredient.
Glass + 1 Torch

Glass + 1 Glowstone Block

Glass + 4 Glowstone Dust

Glass + 1 Sea Lantern

Glass + 4 Prismarine Crystals

6 Luminous Glass → 16 Luminous Panes
