Bring realistic electrical lighting to your Minecraft world!
Realistic Lighting introduces powered light fixtures, replaceable bulbs, realistic energy consumption, and electrical controls to Minecraft Java Edition.
Designed for builders, engineers, and technology enthusiasts, the mod adds functional lighting that integrates with Immersive Engineering and Ender IO while remaining usable without either mod installed.
All three fixtures are available in 16 dye colors.
| Bulb | Energy Usage | Active Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Incandescent | 20 FE/t | 30 Minecraft days |
| Fluorescent | 10 FE/t | 90 Minecraft days |
| LED | 5 FE/t | 300 Minecraft days |
| Grow Bulb | 15 FE/t | 90 Minecraft days |
Bulbs wear out only while illuminated and can be replaced through the fixture's interface.
Each fixture has a 100 FE internal energy buffer.
Every fixture includes an interactive GUI with:
Immersive Engineering
Connect compatible fixtures directly to Immersive Engineering LV wires, without separate wire connectors.
Ender IO
Power fixtures using Ender IO energy conduits and control lighting using redstone conduits.
Both integrations are optional.
Realistic Lighting automatically adjusts its crafting recipes based on your installed technology mods.
Supported configurations:
All six crafting recipes adapt to the installed mods, creating a more integrated technology progression.
Optional integrations: Immersive Engineering, Ender IO, and Just Enough Items (JEI).
Tested integration versions include Immersive Engineering 10.2.0-183 and Ender IO 6.2.18-beta.
