Light Air

To overcome the vanilla Minecraft engine's limitation of a maximum light level of 15, Lightest Lamps utilizes a custom mechanic called Light Air. When a high-intensity lamp is placed, it generates invisible, non-collidable "Light Air" blocks in a radius around it. These blocks act as secondary light sources, effectively extending the lamp's reach far beyond its physical location.

Light Range Progression

Standard lamps are categorized by Greek letters, each representing a specific light radius. Unlike vanilla torches or glowstone which only reach 15 blocks, these lamps can illuminate much larger areas:

Beta Lamp 17 Argon
Gamma Lamp 17 Argon
Delta Lamp 18 Krypton
Epsilon Lamp 19 Xenon
