LambDynamicLights

The most feature-complete and optimized dynamic lighting Minecraft mod.

📖 What's this mod?

It's dark outside, extremely dark… You can't see a lot in the darkness, you wish you had a torch, or a lantern to hold and see in the light…

And this is now possible with this mod as it adds dynamic lights to the game. You can see in the darkness thanks to your torch now!

This mod adds dynamic lights to Minecraft. Dynamic lights are lights created by an entity holding an item which makes light as a block, or created by an entity on fire, etc.

📖 Usage

Using this mod is very simple!

Install it in your mods folder along with Fabric API and ModMenu, (and Sodium if wanted for better performances).

It will work as-is. If you want, you can configure the mod through its settings screen by heading to the video settings or via ModMenu.

📖 Compatibility

Sodium is recommended for better performances.
Canvas is compatible but still WIP: expect huge lag spike with it until a proper lighting API is done in Canvas.
OptiFabric is obviously incompatible.
