• Luma Fixture
  Luma Fixtures are wall (and floor/ceiling) mountable lamps, powered by redstone. They come in caged and inverted versions.
  Their placement behaviour corresponds to torches. That means, if the block they're placed on is destroyed, they will drop as items.
  Comes in all 16 colors (color white with dyes, like wool)

• Multilamp:
  Changes its color according to the strength of Redstone power it receives. This is especially useful when used with other mods like Computercraft which can output different power levels.
  It comes in a normal and a caged version.
  The Multilamp requires a new item called Chroma Stone in its crafting recipe.

Wow, nice video and intro. This seems pretty good! One suggestion though: it would be awesome if the lighting color matched the color of the lamp... Not sure if this is trivial though, as I haven't poked around with the lighting API (raw OpenGl or abstracted?). But this can still definitely make your homes less dull.

Thanks a lot!

To change the color of the light itself i would need to rewrite the whole lighting system, and even Mojang are still having trouble with that So I think this is not (easily) possible. Otherwise I think one of the expert mod devs would have done it already...

[Jwosty]

True... I'm slightly surprised though that's the case since I would _think_ it would just be some OpenGL calls since that's how GUIs work. Well, I guess you learn something new every day!

[Jwosty]

Oh hey, look what I tripped on while browsing the forums: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,11624.0.html

 

What the coincidence I'll say.

[KelMai]

If I understand it right, they're trying to do it in a kind of hacky way, by placing blocks around the light source. That will stop working as soon as another block is in the "illuminated" area...

[Jwosty]

When the "light" blocks are placed, you could just skip any normal blocks. But there are still many things that wouldnt quite work... Or maybe an approach using an entity that renders differently depending on the blocks around it; just speculation... Well in any case, it's probably fine as it is
