About Fairy Lighting
From ModrinthA modern port of the beloved decorative hanging lights mod, bringing customizable string lights, bunting, and garlands to Minecraft 1.21.1.
Illuminate your world with holiday cheer and cozy vibes! This expanded port of Fairy Lights brings the classic decorative mod to NeoForge 1.21.1, allowing you to craft and hang a wide variety of beautiful light strings, pennants, and garlands.
Whether you're decorating for Christmas with Tinsel Garlands, setting up a spooky Halloween vibe with Jack-o-Lantern lights, or just adding a warm glow to your base with standard hanging lights, this mod gives you complete creative control. Use the custom crafting system to design your own string patterns, mix and match colors, and even add text to bunting!
Key Features:
- Hanging Lights: Choose from various shapes like Fairy Lights, Paper Lanterns, Orbs, Flowers, and specialized holiday themes.
- Garlands & Bunting: Decorate with connection types like Tinsel, Vine, Pennant, and Letter Bunting.
- Customization: Craft intricate patterns by combining different lights on a single string.
- Letter Bunting: Write custom text messages to hang on your walls (now fully functional in 1.21.1!).
- Dynamic Physics: Ropes and strings sway gently and react to players.
