Lucent: Dynamic Lighting in Minecraft

Hundreds of different shaders that ensure additional effects have been created for Minecraft. As a result, the standard graphics of the cubic world are greatly transformed, and the cubes turn into a full-fledged modern game with an amazing picture. Each shader pack features a custom list of options, but many of their features and functions overlap, and players often install such add-ons simply because of dynamic lighting. But if you would like to add this effect without installing shader packs, be sure to download the Lucent mod, which has all the necessary features.

The Lucent mod will add dynamic lighting with the possibility of customization to Minecraft. Not only is there such a feature peculiar rather to shader packs, but there are also settings where you will be able to change some parameters, enable visual effects, and select configurations at any moment. At the moment, the mod can boast more than 300 thousand downloads and is available for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Review of the Lucent Mod

The dynamic lighting implemented by the mod will work the following way:

· If you hold a torch in your hands, a small illuminated area appears in front of you, making it much easier and more convenient to move through the mines.

· Any installed lighting means will emit light.

· If the player throws a torch, say, into the abyss, it will illuminate everything around it while falling.

· When you shoot a bow with fire arrows, the area is illuminated while the arrow is flying.

There will be plenty of such manifestations of dynamic lighting options, as the potential of Minecraft is almost limitless, considering how many different add-ons, options, and settings are available for it. The Lucent mod will cope with all these tasks. It ensures dynamic lighting everywhere it should be. Similar mechanics are used in shader packs, but not every user can install such bulky add-ons, as they imply a significant FPS drop on weak PCs — and even on mid-end devices, the performance issues can be critical.

The Lucent mod will allow you to add more colors and effects to the game. Besides, you will be able to use torches in caves not only as a static light source but also as a dynamic option by just holding them in your hands. Such a feature will allow you to capture high-quality and spectacular videos and even whole series with a storyline, which, by the way, is what many content makers on YouTube are engaged in. It goes without saying that you will also be able to take impressive screenshots.

If you decide to add the Lucent mod to your build, make sure that you do not have the following mods in the list: Optifine, Magnesium, Rubidium, and Flywheel. The fact is that this add-on is fully or partly incompatible with them. In some cases, the visual picture becomes utterly terrible, and the disappointed user simply deletes all the latest installed mods.

Besides, the Lucent mod has a config file where you can adjust numerous parameters and enable or disable the settings to make the gameplay comfortable. If your FPS rate is decreasing, it is recommended to reduce LightRefreshRate and disable SmoothBlending. But if your PC is powerful enough, you can leave the default values. In general, the mod has proved to be a very cool and versatile means for bringing dynamic lighting to Minecraft, and if you have not tried such mods before, be sure to install it since the visual picture will literally transform before your eyes, and you will get aesthetic pleasure and a new experience of interaction with many lighting means and devices.
