Life's been busy for me recently, so not much changed with this Snapshot's Lighty release.
Changes:
- Correctly remove subchunks
- Fix potential huge lagspike on overlay enable
I've also created a Discord that you can join to be up-to-date with current Lighty development and to get some exclusive sneak peaks of what I am up to. You can also leave your feedback there regarding Lighty! You may also report bugs there, but I highly encourage you to open a GitHub issue instead if you have a GitHub account.
I still hope to get a few changes done before Minecraft 1.20 releases, but at least the next two to three weeks will be very busy for me. In the worst case, I'll port Lighty 1.2.1 to 1.20 and Lighty 2.0.0 just has to wait a little bit longer.
Snapshot 23w14a requires some code changes, so I am releasing a new version of Lighty with work in progress changes.
Changes in Lighty v2.0.0-alpha.1:
- Changed mappings to Mojmap
- Render Distance Wide Overlay
- Disabled Number Mode temporarily
Those are some pretty big technical changes, so older versions of Lighty will only receive bug fixes. The new features won't be backported.
I know that this will impact performance, and in a future update I will provide a option to limit the range of the light overlay.
The goal for Minecraft 1.20 is:
- Re-Enable some kind of Number Mode
- Make light overlay render distance configurable
- Improve performance and fix bugs
Those are more or less drastic changes, so I would love to hear your opinion! Feel free to leave a comment in this GitHub Discussion.
This release brings Lighty to the 1.20 snapshots!
Also included in this release is a work in progress, rather boring mode that should feel familiar to some of you :)
Have fun with Lighty in the latest snapshot!
In time for Minecraft 1.19.4, there is a Bugfix coming to the Light-Overlay-Mod of your choice!
- Campfires now smoke correctly when in carpet mode (see #17)

New in Lighty v1.2.0:
- Quick Toggle: You can now quickly toggle the light overlay on or off using
F8! This key is configurable in the key binds menu. - A lot of internal changes: These changes are beneficial to make adding new Modes a lot easier.
With 23w07a, NumberMode broke. This release fixes it.
Have fun sniffing around the new changes!
Ported Lighty to 23w03a.
Note:
This is kind of an experiment - I will try to keep up with snapshots, but I cannot guarantee it.
Lighty versions for previous snapshots might work on newer snapshots - for example, 23w04a works just fine - just give it a try.
If you encounter problems with the latest snapshot and the latest Lighty release for snapshots, please open an issue on GitHub. I cannot provide support for any other snapshot + Lighty combination.
Anyways, have fun knowing where mobs might spawn while traveling the worlds in your new, fancy armor!
New Year, new Lighty release!
New Feature:
- Number Mode! Displays the actual Light Level Numbers, Lighty style!
Internal Changes:
- A lot of code refactoring, resulting in:
- Better Performance
- Making it easier for future additional Modes to be added
Ported Lighty to 1.19.3 for all your Overworld Light Level Displaying Needs
- Removes Light Overlay underwater
