IR Lights Mod brings a real-time light editor directly into your game world. This mod lets you place point lights and spotlights with real shadows, fog beams, and custom projector shapes through Iris shaders. You can adjust colors, brightness, and angles on the fly to illuminate your builds or film cinematic videos.

IR Lights Mod

Features:

  • Light Editor: A floating screen lets you place, move, and rotate custom lights using 3D handles or exact numbers.
  • Point Lights and Spotlights: Choose your own light color, brightness, reach, beam angle, and shadow softness.
  • Real-Time Shadows: Blocks and mobs cast realistic shadows that update without slowing down your game.
  • Volumetric light creates visible beams and god-rays through fog and dust.
  • Project custom black-and-white picture patterns onto walls and floors from spotlights.
  • Free-fly camera lets you move around freely while the editor is open to set up your angles.
  • Interactive wireframe guides show the exact reach and shape of every light source.
  • Auto block-lights turn standard torches, lanterns, and glowstone into actual light sources.
  • Saves light setups per world so your lighting stays intact whenever you load your game.
  • Works alongside Replay Mod to help you light custom scenes during camera paths.
