About this Mod
More Candles
Adds candle blocks that follow vanilla design language but provide clear functional uses. The overall direction stays Vanilla+ focused — drop-in usability, natural integration with the base game, and room for future themed candle variants to be added without changing existing systems.
Main Features
Redstone Candle
Looks like a candle, but behaves closer to a redstone torch and can be used directly in circuits.
- Emits redstone power by default
- Can be used as a compact inverting component
- Signal strength scales with candle count in the same block (1–4 candles: 3 / 7 / 11 / 15)
- Provides soft lighting and redstone-style particle effects for visual feedback
Soul Candle
An atmospheric light source themed around soul fire, designed primarily for building and environmental use.
- Cool-toned lighting with soul flame visuals
- Fits Nether bases, ruins, underground areas, and darker builds
- Placement and interaction follow vanilla candle behavior
Piglin Interaction
- (MobCivics 0.4.0 or newer)
When MobCivics 0.4.0 is installed, lit Soul Candles are recognized by Piglins as a repellent light source.
- Only active while the candle is lit, similar to a soul campfire
- Works as a normal light source if MobCivics is not installed
- No hard dependency — safe to include without causing crashes or load errors
