About this project

What does LightLevelOverlay add?

Light Level Overlay is a lightweight, client-side mod for Minecraft that visualizes mob spawn areas around the player using clear color-coded markers.

Features

Mob Spawn Visualization: Displays overlays directly on top of spawnable blocks within a 16-block radius.
Color-Coded Indicators:
- Red Crosses: Block light is 0 (mobs can spawn at any time).
- Yellow Crosses: Mobs can spawn when it gets dark / at night.
Performance Friendly: Optimized rendering using modern Fabric rendering APIs to ensure smooth FPS.
Client-Side Only: Works on multiplayer servers without needing the mod installed on the server.
