About this project

What does Better Lights add?

Wondering how to have a mob farm with light?

Wondering how to have different lamps based on different light levels?

Wondering how to make your buildings awesome with some lamps?

If some of the answers are YES, well, this is the mod for you!

Features:

  • 4 different types of lamp

  • 4 different light levels

  • One texture for all

  • You can make this lamp with a simple piece of grass!

Crafting:

To make a lamp, you have to make a Basilarion Block first (invented word lol ;D). You'll need 9 pieces of Basilarion.

To make Basilarion, simply smelt 1 Block of Grass in a furnace.

Then, in a crafting table, put that 9 Basilarions, like if you would craft a Diamond Block (make a 3x3 square)

Now, we can craft lamps.

Basilarion Lamp (Lv. 1) - Low Light

Lv 2/3/4

You have to replace the first lamp to the lamp to upgrade (e.g. if you want Lamp lv. 4, you should put Lamp lv. 3 near the torches)

You can also craft a Lv.4 lamp with a Basilarion Block and a Glowstone Block.
