Additional Lights: New Lighting Sources

Minecraft can boast a lot of different blocks and items using which we can design and erect different types of structures, houses, and whole cities, but there is still a problem with the lighting. Indeed, if there is not enough light in a particular location, all your buildings can be destroyed by creepers and other mobs added by user mods. Especially for those who are looking for new lighting sources in Minecraft, we have made a detailed review of a mod called Additional Lights that will allow you to solve this problem.

The designer of the Additional Lights mod has added a huge number of new sources suitable for different styles. They include not only lamps but also campfires, interesting bowls, and other items made of different materials. So even if you do not have, say, diamonds or gold to make some special lamp, you will be able to take advantage of the cheaper materials to quickly craft items with the same luminosity level.

Review of the Additional Lights Mod

This mod is especially relevant in cases where you will need to design the exterior of a building or add light inside. The modder has tried to add as many different variants of lamps as possible. They are suitable for both modern and medieval styles, given that there are campfires of different types, bowls, and many other unique items. The availability of different colors is also a pleasing feature, as you can have a building, say, in gray tones and may want to add some black or white contrast to it.

First of all, the mod adds the small lamps installed on a surface or wall. They look unusual and are tiny but perfectly illuminate any area of your territory.

The new torch is a variant of the standard Minecraft torch. You will now be able to take advantage of the more versatile and colorful versions of this item made of different wood types. They differ only in terms of the base on which they stand, and if you wish to change them, it will be enough to use another wood when crafting. The screenshot below shows how that looks. We have also attached several screenshots with the recipes. As you can see, it is not difficult to create such an item, and you will be able to use different blocks to match various shades.

The standing torches are cool lighting sources consisting of tall oblong stands and torches with fire inside them. They look charming and allow you to illuminate a large area at night. They come in numerous shades, and you will be able to choose them depending on the availability of particular blocks or the desired color. You will be able to craft the standing torches even from the netherite, diamonds, and other expensive materials. However, these options can rather be afforded only by those who play in admin mode or have a lot of resources. By the way, if you click the RMB on the fire in such a stand, it will go out.

The tall standing torches are another lighting source, which is similar to the above one but has large dimensions. Such blocks can be installed inside buildings, placed outside, or used as decoration in different styles. There are also plenty of materials from which they can be made. However, you will need much more resources. Thus, to craft the tall diamond stand, you will have to spend two diamond blocks, whereas the usual standing torch requires only one. Below are several screenshots with the recipes so that you can estimate the approximate costs.

The fire pits are unique blocks added by the Additional Lights mod, with which you will be able to create beautiful bonfires both for usual hiking in the woods or as a decorative element for some building. They come in different materials with a wide range of colors. However, they are notable for their high cost. So it is not necessary to craft the diamond option, spending your diamonds, as you can use the turquoise one requiring only a few blocks of ice.

There are a lot of lighting options in the Additional Lights mod, as it adds as many as about 200 new elements divided into several categories and sections. In general, the mod has proved to be a cool, convenient, and elaborate add-on that will allow you to illuminate the territory not only with the torches or glowstone but also with other sources. So be sure to use this add-on in your builds and forget all about the standard torches. As for those who are used to them, they will find several new options with racks, stands, and other components in different colors.

For now, the Additional Lights mod is one of the most remarkable in its category, as the designer has tried and made a cool add-on for all Minecraft users. It gives no information on the exact luminosity values, but they can be measured using other mods or the standard game tools via the console and commands. With the help of such lighting sources, you will also be able to create automated circuits since most of the new items support the redstone. So fans of mechanisms and circuits will certainly find application for the new mod and be able to take full advantage of its potential.
