LightLevelOverlay

This mod does exactly what it says in the name. It’s a simple tool, so don’t expect a bunch of extra bells and whistles!

Disclaimer

Just a quick heads-up: I wrote this whole thing from scratch as a standalone project. It isn’t a port of any other mod, official or otherwise.
I’m not affiliated with dark-lion-jp in any way, but I was definitely inspired by their Light Level mod! So, please don’t bother them with any issues you find here-come to me instead.

Features

• Simple Overlay: It shows you the light level numbers right on top of blocks. This helps you stop mobs from spawning where you don’t want them.
• Color Coded:
  • Green: You’re safe! (Light level 8+)
  • Yellow: Be careful, it’s a bit risky. (Light level 1-7)
  • Red: Watch out, it’s dangerous! (Light level 0)
• Performance: I made sure it uses caching so it doesn’t slow down your game.
• Configurable: Feel free to change the ranges, colors, and how often it updates to fit your needs.

Usage

• Toggle Overlay: Just press F9
• Open Config: Just press F10

Installation

1. First, make sure you have NeoForge installed.
2. Download the latest version of LightLevelOverlay.
3. Pop the .jar file into your mods folder.
4. Start up the game and you’re good to go!

Configuration

You can change the settings while you're playing by pressing F10, or you can edit the file at
config/lightleveloverlay-client.json if you prefer.

• Horizontal Range: How far around you the mod checks for light levels.
• Vertical Range: How high up or down it checks.
• Update Interval: How often it re-checks the light levels. Lower numbers mean it’s smoother, but it might use a bit more computer power.
• Show Only Spawnable: Turn this on to hide the safe blocks and only see where mobs might spawn.
