This mod requires HammerLib.

This mod is a simple fork and remake of the original Albedo by elucent.

It implements a colored lighting engine into Minecraft!

Any light limits? Well... technically not, as long as your hardware will be capable of storing all light sources, you're fine! The default max value is 1.5k lights, but this could be vastly increased (don't recommend going over 4096 tho, as it would start dropping FPS pretty quickly on the powerful GPUs too)

You can customize any block to glow exactly how you want it to!

The reason why this mod exists is fairly simple: issues take too long to get a response, not even a fix. My issues got declined, so this mod is a thing now.

There are a couple of bugfixes:

mobs DO color red when hit
Hand lighting is actually correct
Particles respect colored lighting
Pretty much-unlimited amount of lights is possible

New features:

Specify light shading mode in configs (max color / add colors)
Custom JSON file to make blocks of choice light up with colors
Non-tile blocks can add light each frame instead of each search cycle
(NEW) Lux Packs! Similar naming to resource packs, but allow to add support to ANY mod, without the mod author having to write compatibility for Colored Lux. (User-friendly, unless you need to work with Tile Entities, but that is still possible with JS)

This mod was made in hope that it would be useful for those who experience bugs with Albedo.

Note: the mod has PARTIAL support for Optifine: You must disable Render Regions and all shaders.

DO NOT REPORT ANY ERRORS IF YOU ARE USING OPTIFINE! THEY ARE GOING TO GET DISCARDED.

This mod has trouble working on AMD GPUs, the cause of this is unknown, sadly.

If you want to collaborate, feel free to PM me on discord, I'll gladly offer my help for you to implement this API into your mod!

Here's a good example of colored lighting ( TerrariaCraft):
