Dark Redstone
Turns off redstone lighting to make large builds more optimized
About this Mod
This mod was made on commission
This mod disables lighting that comes from active redstone, repeaters, comparators, and redstone torches so large redstone builds do not have to run nearly as many light calculations.

Server lagging with Dark Redstone – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dark Redstone consumes the most tick time.
