Simply Light Colours & Toggling

Sixteen colours. The illuminant blocks, slabs, and panels each come in the full standard dye palette: white, orange, magenta, light blue, yellow, lime, pink, gray, light gray, cyan, purple, blue, brown, green, red, and black. This lets you match your lighting to any colour scheme, build rainbow displays, or colour-code areas at a glance. Every colour glows at full brightness, so a red block lights an area just as strongly as a white one.

On/off toggling. A key feature of the illuminant blocks is that they can be switched between a bright, glowing state and a dim, unlit state. Interact with a block to toggle it:

  • On - the block glows at full brightness and lights the surrounding area.
  • Off - the block goes dark and stops emitting light, keeping its colour but sitting quietly until you turn it back on.

Because you can toggle blocks without breaking and replacing them, you can set the mood of a room on demand, make signs or displays that turn off, build lit and unlit sections side by side, or keep a light ready to flip on later. Unlit blocks are handy for daytime builds or areas where you want the colour without the glow.
