About this project
What does Tech Lights add?
Color up your world with high-tech colored lights!
Available in all 16 of the base Minecraft colors.
Can be controlled via redstone.
If you want to color these lights in game you will need to add Shimmer (1.20.1 and before)
If you are using neoforge you will need to add Colorful Lighting
The 2.0 releases can all use Colorful Lighting. There will soon be a shader option for all 2.0 versions.
Adding shimmer/colorful lighting will make your lights glow in color automatically. No need to do anything else.
If you're looking for a shader only option Just Colored Lighting works great and looks beautiful.
