About this Mod

Adds many blocks that have a solid texture in each of the vanilla dye colors. Each block, besides the black one, gives off light. These blocks are meant to be used for building and decoration in your builds.

You can craft a white flat light using light plates, which are crafted like this:
The crafting recipe for light plates; glowstone dust in each corner and one in the center, with the rest of the slots filled by iron ingots. The recipe produces 8 light plates.

Using those light plates, you can craft the flat light block like this:
The crafting recipe for one flat light; four light plates in the crafting grid.

After that, you can dye the flat light into any of the dye colors avaliable in vanilla Minecraft.

There is also a light apple:

The crafting recipe for one light apple; one apple in the center and a light plate in each cardinal direction around it.

The light apple will give you the glowing effect for 30 seconds after eating it, as well as the normal hunger and satiation from a normal apple.
