Water-Light-Level
🌊Water Light Level is a client-side Fabric mod that visualizes underwater blocks whose light level is below a configurable threshold.
It renders a translucent aura around qualifying water blocks, making it easy to:
- spot drowned-safe areas
- identify dark underwater regions
- explore and debug underwater lighting
✨ Features
- 🔦 Highlights water blocks below a chosen light level
- 📏 Configurable scan distance
- 🎨 Customizable aura color (ARGB)
- ⌨ Toggle the aura on/off instantly
- ⌨️ Toggle the aura via a keystroke

🧭 Commands
All commands are under:
