Lumen Rigs

Stage lighting for Minecraft - aimable spotlights, floodlights, searchlights and soft panels with coloured light and visible beams.

📦 Requires NeoForge 1.21.1 on client and server · optional Veil for per-pixel lighting

✨ Features

• 🔦 Four fixtures on motorized yokes - a zoomable Spotlight (5-45°), a wide Floodlight with barn doors, a Searchlight for the night sky (up to 256 blocks) and a Soft Light Panel; floor, wall or ceiling.
• 🌈 Any colour - 16 dye colours, a hue slider or warm white; colours mix like light: red and green make yellow.
• ✨ Visible beams that show more in rain and under water, with a lens flare when a fixture points at you.
• 💡 Real light - with Veil: per-pixel spot and area lights with soft edges and block shadows; without it the mod's own light still lights blocks, mobs and players in the beam.
• 🎛️ Settings screen - aim mode (manual, point, follow, sweep), pan, tilt, beam angle, power, softness, range, beam visibility and redstone; copy and paste settings between fixtures.
• 📡 Lighting Remote - link fixtures and aim them all at a block, make them follow a mob or player, or shine where you look.
• 🔴 Redstone - switch with a signal or use its strength as a dimmer.
• 🛡️ Client-side light - nothing is placed in the world: safe for servers and other mods, mobs still spawn.

⛏️ Crafting

• Spotlight - iron ingots, a redstone lamp, a glass pane and a copper ingot
• Floodlight - iron ingots, two redstone lamps, a glass pane and a copper ingot
• Searchlight - iron ingots, two redstone lamps, glass, iron blocks and a copper ingot
• Soft Light Panel (x2) - paper, iron ingots and glowstone
• Lighting Remote - a redstone torch, redstone and an iron ingot

🤝 Compatibility

✅ Veil (optional, recommended) - realistic per-pixel lights, soft cone edges, block shadows and beams scattering in the air.

✅ Sodium - the built-in light works.

✅ Iris (shader packs) - Veil turns its lights off with Iris, so the built-in light and beams are used.

❌ Embeddium - its chunk renderer bypasses the built-in light: fixtures and beams show, blocks are not lit.
