Resource Pack Tutorial

In your resourcepack's namespace folder (where folders like textures and models are located) create a light folder. There, you can create an emitters.json file, which defines what light colors blocks emit. Example:
assets\example\light\emitters.json

{ "minecraft:torch": "#00FF00", // color in hex "minecraft:red_candle": "red", // dye name "minecraft:redstone_lamp": [ 0, 255, 255 ], "minecraft:soul_torch": "purple;5", // override light level emission "minecraft:oak_leaves": "light_blue;F" // value after ';' is a hex number from 0 to F }

You can also create filters.json, where you define what light color passes through a given block. Example:
assets\example\light\filters.json

{ "minecraft:red_stained_glass": "#00FF00", // color in hex "minecraft:green_stained_glass": "red", // dye name "minecraft:glass": [ 0, 255, 255 ] }
