BetterLights

Customize individual torch and lantern colors with a controller or mouse.

Controls

• Look at a nearby light and press R3, F7, or middle mouse to open the picker.
• Use the right stick, mouse, or presets to choose a color.
• Save, restore the original color, or cancel from the picker.

Colors persist between sessions. In multiplayer, players with the same BetterLights version can see the host's synchronized colors; unmodded players remain compatible and see the original colors.

Open Mod Settings from the pause menu to remap the keyboard and controller shortcuts.

Full setup, configuration, compatibility, and troubleshooting details are available on GitHub.
