SafeSquares is a mod for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 that adds a light-level overlay on top of blocks, in the style of the "safe" mod from Zombe's Modpack. When enabled with the hotkey (L by default), blocks that monsters can spawn on will be highlighted with a red cross, or a yellow cross if they can only spawn there during night.
