Illuminating Builds with Custom Colored Lighting

Placing Torches and Light Sources

DTM Shaders replaces standard warm illumination with vivid colored lighting effects that dramatically alter how blocks are lit underground and during nighttime.

• Place standard torches along cave walls or in indoor builds. Notice how the colored light casts vibrant hues across neighboring stone, wood, and ground blocks.
• Test different light-emitting blocks in your builds to see how their custom illumination spreads. Instead of a uniform yellow glow, surfaces take on intense colored tones that redefine room aesthetics.

Designing Interiors for Bold Light Contrasts

The combination of altered block brightness and stylized illumination allows you to build unique, stylized spaces:

1. Space out your torches rather than placing them on every wall. The sharp color contrasts created by the pack make the transition between bright light and dark shadows much more striking.

2. Use light-colored or neutral building blocks (such as concrete, smooth stone, or quartz) to showcase the saturated colored light to its fullest extent.

3. Check your underground mine paths and corridors. Colored light reflects across cavern walls to give mining tunnels an alien, fantasy-themed atmosphere.
