Set Up Efficient Lighting in Your Base

Combine Dynamic and Static Lighting

Dynamic Lightings Mod works best when paired with traditional placed light sources. This creates layered, efficient lighting:

  • Place lanterns or sea lanterns (Level 15) on walls, ceilings, and pillars for permanent coverage
  • Hold a torch or lantern while moving through your base to fill gaps and see details
  • Use beacons (Level 15) for large open areas like farms or gathering halls

Light Up Specific Areas

Farms and outdoor spaces:

Place lanterns on posts or fences. Their Level 15 brightness prevents mob spawning across wide areas.

Tunnels and corridors:

Alternate torches (Level 14) every few blocks. Carry a lantern while walking to ensure complete visibility.

Decorative spaces:

Use soul torches (Level 10) or glow berries for ambiance without overwhelming brightness.

Reduce Lag

While dynamic lighting is convenient, placing permanent light sources reduces the need to constantly hold glowing items, which can improve performance in large bases.
