About this Mod

BoredLight (Fork of VarLight)

Updated fork of VarLight for 1.16.5.

P.S. In respect to the original author, I will stop supporting this mod, if and when, the original author starts updating his mod again.

Description

BoredLight allows you to create custom Light sources by right clicking blocks with glowstone dust.

  • Right click blocks with glowstone dust to increment Light Level by 1
  • Left click blocks with glowstone dust to decrement Light level by 1
  • Breaking Custom Light sources with a Silk touch tool will drop a glowing version of the block

Supported MC Versions:

  • 1.16.5

Commands

  • /varlight update: Update the light level at a given position (Syntax: /varlight update <pos> <light level>)
  • /varlight fill: Fill an entire region with Light sources (Syntax: /varlight fill <pos 1> <pos 2> <light level> [include|exclude] [include filter|exclude filter])
  • /varlight give: Like the vanilla /give command, but receive a glowing version of the block instead
  • /varlight debug: List custom light sources
  • /varlight stepsize: Use any interval from 1-15 instead of 1 per click (Syntax: /varlight stepsize <1-15>)

Frequently Asked Questions

BoredLight server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is BoredLight compatible with fabric?

BoredLight officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with BoredLight – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BoredLight consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
