About this project

What does Mekanism: Mekalights add?

⚡ MekaLights ⚡

One block. Full base lighting. Powered by Mekanism.

Stop torch-spamming your caves, factories and farms. Place one MekaLight Block, feed it Mekanism power, pick a shape, range and brightness — the machine floods the area with invisible, full-brightness light emitters. One block, up to a 48-block radius, zero clutter.

🟢 Actively developed — now available for NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1.

Features

  • 💡 Five light shapes:
    • 🌐 Sphere — full 3D volume, ideal for caves and big rooms
    • ⭕ Disc — flat layer for floors, fields and mob-proofing
    • 🔦 Cone — real spotlight: aperture 15°–90°, 6 aimable directions
    • 🛕 Dome — half-sphere, aimable up (dome) or down (bowl)
    • 🛢️ Cylinder — vertical column with adjustable height (4–32 blocks)
  • 🔆 Adjustable brightness — dial the light intensity from dim to full
  • ⚙️ Clean Mekanism-style GUI — shape side panel with pixel icons, range, brightness, aperture, direction, height and a live energy readout
  • 🔋 Mekanism energy — consumption scales with range, brightness and shape; bigger, brighter lights ask for beefier cable lines. Energy Upgrades cut the cost
  • 🔧 Works like a real Mekanism machine — configurator/wrench support and side configuration
  • 📦 Keeps its setup when broken (1.21.1) — stored energy, upgrades and all light settings stay on the item, so you can move a light without reconfiguring it
  • 👻 Invisible ghost emitters — no collision, build right through them, cleaned up automatically when the machine is broken or unpowered
  • 🛠 Debug view (per machine) — green wireframe outline of the configured area, works even before powering on. Perfect for planning
  • 🔍 Jade support — status and energy usage on hover
  • 🌐 Multiplayer ready — built and tested for servers

Getting Started

Recipe

  1. Craft the MekaLight Block
  2. Place it and connect Mekanism cables
  3. Right-click → pick shape, range, brightness and aim
  4. Done — darkness gone
