Frequently asked questions

How do I start making light strings?
You'll need to gather string and dyes, then use the custom crafting interface to combine them with light shapes (like paper lanterns or orbs). Once you've crafted your string, place connection blocks on two surfaces and right-click between them to hang your creation.
Can I mix different colors on one string?
Yes, that's the main feature of the custom crafting system. You can place different colored lights and shapes in any order along a single string to create unique patterns and gradients.
How do I make letter bunting with text?
Use the Letter Bunting crafting recipe with dyes to create individual letter pennants, then hang them in sequence between connection points just like regular light strings. Arrange them to spell out your message.
What are the different connection types I can use?
You can hang strings using normal pennants, vines for a natural look, or tinsel for a festive appearance. Each connection type is crafted separately and affects the visual style of your decoration.
Why do my strings look weird or disconnected?
Make sure both connection points are placed on solid blocks and are within a reasonable distance of each other. If strings still don't appear, try breaking and re-placing the connection blocks, as the mod sometimes needs a visual update.
Do the lights actually produce light or are they just decorative?
The lights are primarily decorative and won't brighten your base like torches or lanterns, but they add beautiful ambient decoration that reacts to your presence with physics and swaying.
Can I use holiday decorations year-round?
Yes, you can craft and hang holiday-themed decorations like Jack-o-Lanterns and Tinsel Garlands whenever you want—there's no seasonal restriction in the mod.
What happens when I walk through a hanging string?
The string will sway and react physically to your movement, creating a dynamic effect. You won't collide with it, so you can walk freely through your decorations.
Do I need specific blocks to hang strings from?
You need to place connection blocks on solid surfaces, but the mod works with most standard blocks like wood, stone, dirt, and fence posts. Avoid placing them on transparent or moving blocks.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but having hundreds of strings with active physics in one area can impact performance. If you experience lag, try reducing the number of decorations or disabling physics effects in the mod settings.
