Getting Started: Crafting Your First Light Gem

Gather Your Base Materials

Before you can craft any decorative lights, you need Light Gems—the foundation of this mod. Collect one yellow dye and one emerald. Yellow dye can be obtained from sunflowers or dandelions, while emeralds are found in mountain biomes or obtained through trading with villagers.

Create Your First Light Gems

Place the yellow dye and emerald together on a crafting table. This single craft yields 9 Light Gems, giving you plenty to experiment with multiple light designs.

What's Next?

Light Gems are consumed in most decorative lamp recipes alongside other materials. Keep your gem supply stocked by repeating this craft whenever you run low. Since you get 9 gems per craft, you can create several different lamp types before needing to gather more dyes and emeralds.

Store extra gems in a chest near your crafting area for convenient access when designing your lighting setup.
