How to Decorate and Light Graveyards with Vigil Candles

Whether expanding an existing village graveyard or building an elaborate crypt, you can transform dark areas using thematic lighting and decorations.

Illuminating Pathways with Vigil Candles

Vigil Candles are colorful light sources designed to brighten gloomy, sacred locations. Use them across your builds to set the appropriate mood:

  • Mark Walkways: Line dark pathways winding through cemetery grounds using colorful Vigil Candles to maintain safe visibility at night.
  • Light Shrines and Sepulchers: Place Vigil Candles directly on or around decorative stone sepulchers to highlight grand tombs.
  • Accent Graves: Position candles beside bone piles, burial dirt, and engraved stone tablets to create focal points across the burial plots.

Setting the Atmosphere with Music

To complete your cemetery or memorial garden, place a jukebox in the area and insert the mod's dedicated music disc track, *afterlife*. Playing the *afterlife* track alongside flickering Vigil Candles produces an authentic, eerie atmosphere for your sacred places.
