What does ColorLight add?

Vanilla / ColorLight / ColorLight + Mellow shaders

ColorLight is a mod that automatically determines how a block should glow and generates colored lighting based on that.

All shaders are compatible with ColorLight and do not require support from their authors.

Beryl + VulkanMod Shader Demo:

Beryl+VulkanMod

ColorLight is well suited for building maps, structures, or vanilla servers, as the mod allows you to create your own light sources through commands. Soon, you will be able to share your light sources with other players, both on servers and in local worlds, by transferring save files.

Added colored lighting using commands:

How the Mod Works

When a glowing block is detected, the mod:

  • Finds the block's texture
  • Analyzes it
  • Determines the dominant color
  • Uses this color to illuminate the block

Settings

All mod settings are currently located in Sodium.

The "General" tab is responsible for:

  • Enabling the mod
  • Adjusting the glow radius
  • Enabling GPU calculations
  • Enabling light smoothing
  • Adjusting the lighting balance

The "Blocks" tab is responsible for:

  • Enabling individual blocks
  • Adjusting the lighting radius separately for each block
  • Adjusting the glow color separately for each block

Compatibility

Any mod that adds its own light block will work natively with correct colored lighting, which can be adjusted separately in the settings if desired.

All optimization mods are supported. If you find a mod that still does not work with ColorLight, first check whether it has already been reported on the GitHub issues page. If it hasn't, please report your findings.

However, some mods require separate ColorLight support, specifically mods that add features different from vanilla Minecraft.

ColorLight - мод, который сам определяет, как должен светится блок, и из результата создает цветное освещение.

Все шейдеры совместимы с ColorLight и не требуют поддержки от авторов.

Демонстрация шейдера Beryl + VulkanMod:

ColorLight хорошо подходит для строительства карта, построек или для ванильных серверов, ведь у мода есть возможность создавать свои собстенные источники света через команды. Вскоре вы сможете обмениваться своми источниками с другими игроками, как на сервере, так и на локальных мирах передавая сохранения.

Добавленное цветное освещение при помощи команд:

Как работает мод

При обнаружении светящегося блока мод:

  • Находит текстуру блока
  • Анализирует её
  • Определяет преобладающий цвет
  • Использует этот цвет для освечения блока

Настройки

Все настройки для мода сейчас находятся в Sodium.

Вкладка "Основные" отвечает за:

  • Включение мода

  • Регулировка радиуса свечения

  • Включение расчетов на GPU

  • Включения сглаживания света

  • Регулиравка баланса освещения

Вкладка "Блоки" отвечает за:

  • Влючение отдельного блока
  • Регулировка радиуса освещение отдельная для блока
  • Регулировки цвета свечения отдельные для блока

Совместимость

Совместим любой мод, который добаляет свой световой блок будет работать нативно с коректным цветным светом, который при желании можно настроить отдельно в настройках.

Все моды на оптимизацию поддерживаются, если вы нашли мод, которой все же не работает с ColorLight сначала проверте не писали об этом раньше на GitHub issues page, если нет, то пишите о своей находке.

Но есть моды которые требуют отдельной поддержки ColorLight, а именно моды добавляющие специфические особенности отличные от ванильного Майнкрафта

Мод Поддержка Прогресс Разработки
- LambDynamicLights ✅ Завершен
- Create Aeronautics 🚧 Пока не начато
- Voxy ✅ Экспериментально
- Distant Horizons 🚧 В 0.2.2
