Fairy Lights FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I craft string lights?
Start by gathering string and light bulbs or shapes from the mod's crafting recipes. Combine these on a crafting table to create a basic string light, then place it by right-clicking between two blocks or attachment points to hang it in your world.
Can I mix different colors on one string?
Yes, the mod lets you create custom patterns by combining different colored lights and shapes on a single string. Use the custom pattern crafting system to arrange your preferred colors and light types before placing the string.
How do I make letter bunting with words?
Craft individual letter blocks from the mod, then arrange them on bunting to spell out your message. Place the completed letter bunting on walls or between posts to display your custom text.
Why arent my lights showing up?
Check that you've placed the lights between two valid attachment points (like fences, walls, or poles) and that they're not clipping into solid blocks. If lights still don't appear, verify the mod is properly loaded and try breaking and replacing the string.
Do Fairy Lights work in Bedrock edition?
This mod is designed for Java Edition and is not available for Bedrock Edition. If you're playing Bedrock, you'll need to use alternative decoration mods compatible with that version.
What blocks can I attach lights to?
Lights attach to most solid blocks and fence-like structures including fences, walls, poles, and posts. Experiment with different blocks in your build to find the attachment points that work best for your design.
Do the lights actually move or is it just visual?
The lights sway and move realistically when players walk through them or nearby, creating an interactive decorative effect. This is purely visual and doesn't affect gameplay mechanics.
Can I use Fairy Lights for halloween and christmas?
Yes, the mod includes themed light shapes for both Halloween (like jack-o-lantern lights) and winter (like tinsel garlands), letting you decorate seasonally throughout the year.
Do Fairy Lights affect server performance?
The mod is generally lightweight, but having many strings with animated movement in one area can impact performance on servers or lower-end machines. Reduce the number of lights or their animation settings if you experience lag.
How do I remove or change lights ive already placed?
Break the string light with your hand or a tool to remove it completely, then craft and place a new one if you want different colors or patterns. You can also use creative mode to quickly test different configurations.
