Ideas/notes

[wdb07-2]

So, i kinda just had a few ideas that i wanted to share. i should note that i use the 1.12.2 version, so if any of these have been added since, just disregard them.

-colorable/dyeable lights: does what it says on the tin. would make it possible to dye light blocks different colors (or perhaps even adjust hex values precisely with a tool or something), and where/if possible, affect the color of the light cast as well.

-littletiles compatibility: i'll bring this up on their discord, but i've noticed that this mod does not work properly with littletiles (again, at least with the latest 1.12.2 versions of both mods, which i recognise aren't going to be updated any time soon, if ever), with the textures disappearing, and the luminous effect of the block (the inverted lamp specifically was what i tried) not even having the correct (lit) texture. i would say to also look at making it compatible with chisels & bits, but i don't see the point when it's completely outclassed by littletiles anyway. but i digress.
i will also test it some more, to see if the non-inverted lamp works instead, but my hopes are not high.

that's it for now, but if i think of more, i will return and put those ideas here as well. thank you for your consideration, regardless of whether any is given.

correction: the texture does not change, but it certainly does break. neither block works properly when tiled.

I do have colored versions of the lights in the 1.21 version, it does not color the actual light though, because that's not possible without a mod to replace the lighting engine.

As for little tiles and chisels and bits, im not sure what would make it not work, although the 1.12 version is the very first version i made, and has been rewritten entirely since then.

yeah, makes sense. no worries though, it's far from a big deal. thanks anyway!
