1 year ago Hi, thanks for the interest.
I haven't touched 1.12.2 modding in years (ever since the Forge 1.13 beta existed) and never plan to touch it again.
If someone else wants to backport it to 1.12.2, I would be happy to allow them to upload it to my CurseForge and Modrinth project page as well as host it on this repository as a branch. They would just have to submit it via a pull request and we'd probably have to discuss some things on discord.
However, unless someone else takes up this task, this mod unfortunately won't be backported.
Feature Description
Backport this mod to Minecraft 1.12.2
Context and Inspiration
I'm using a mod called "Colored Lux" that adds an efficient colored lighting system to Minecraft, similar to what Albedo does but A LOT better. The developer of Colored Lux, Zeitheron, has stated that they will not be porting the mod to newer versions of the game (probably because Blaze3D is a pain in the ass to work around when tweaking the lighting engine) resulting in the mod being 1.12.2 exclusive. All modern alternatives to Colored Lux perform sacrifices in some way, which is NOT what I want. A side effect of Colored Lux is that sources of light like torches and redstone lamps appear MUCH brighter than their Vanilla counterparts, resulting in mobs still being able to spawn in very clearly lit up areas, which is pretty weird to look at in-game.
Does This Add New Behavior or Change Current Features?
Not really.
Have you already discussed the feature using the discussion feature?
I thought about opening a discussion about it, but then realized that would've been kinda pointless for backporting a simple mechanic to 1.12.2, a version of Minecraft that despite it's age still has a lot to offer in terms of making a unique gameplay experience.
