Do I need both Fabric and Fabric API to use this mod?

Yes. Fabric Modloader and Fabric API are both required before installing LambDynamicLights. Install them first, then add this mod to your mods folder.

Can I hold multiple light sources at once?

You can hold one item in your hand. However, any light sources you've placed will also emit dynamic light, so caves with torches on the walls will light up even without holding one.

Does this mod work with Quilt?

Yes. Versions 1.19 and later support both Fabric and Quilt. Download the version matching your loader and Minecraft version.

Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?

Dynamic lighting can impact performance depending on your hardware and how many light sources are active. Performance will vary based on your system, but most modern computers handle it fine.

Is LambDynamicLights compatible with other mods?

Generally yes. It's a lighting mod and doesn't conflict with most other mods. If you experience issues with specific mods, check the mod's page for known incompatibilities.

LambDynamicLights Mod (1.19.4, 1.18.2)

LambDynamicLights Mod

LambDynamicLights is a Fabric mod that adds realistic dynamic lighting to Minecraft. Instead of torches just sitting there lighting up a circle, they actually emit light in a natural way. The best part? You can hold torches and lanterns in your hand while exploring caves and they’ll light up the darkness as you walk. No more placing and removing torches constantly. This mod completely changes how you experience underground exploration.

What Does This Mod Do?

Dynamic Light Sources

Torches, lanterns, glowstone, and other light-emitting blocks now cast light realistically. When you’re holding a torch, the light moves with you. The lighting feels natural instead of just being a static circle around your position.

Hand-Held Light Emission

Carry a torch or lantern in your hand while exploring. You don’t need to place it to get light. Just hold it and walk through caves with actual dynamic lighting. Makes exploring way less tedious.

Works With Multiple Light Sources

Not just torches. Lanterns, soul lanterns, candles, glowstone, and any other light-emitting item will emit dynamic light when held or placed. The mod works with most light sources in the game.
