💡 Usage Tips​

Interior Lighting​

Place light blocks in ceiling corners for even lighting without visible sources.

Mob Protection​

Place light blocks on roofs and in dark places — mobs won't spawn, and lighting stays invisible.

Decorative Lighting​

Use low brightness blocks (1-5) to create atmospheric lighting in basements, caves and mysterious places.

Path Lighting​

Place light blocks under translucent blocks (glass, ice) to create glowing paths.
