I really missed the light blocks from Ferdinand's Flowers for 1.12.2. Being able to light a house or your landscaping invisibly is very handy at times. I created this mod based on his idea.
This mod features a set of blocks that look exactly like the base game block but each emits the same amount of light as a glowstone block.
Crafting:
You can turn most of the vanilla blocks into their "Luminous" versions by combing the block with a single pile of glowstone dust.
v1.5 update: grass, mycelium, podzol, emerald block, diamond block, gold block, plus a few others now have luminous versions


Other Notes:
- The logs rotate the same as their vanilla counterparts.
- The dirt & grass blocks can be used for plants (not farming though)
- The grass block is set to pick up coloring from the biome it's placed in
- All the blocks can be found in their own creative tab but you can also search for "Luminous" since each block's name starts with that.
Important-ish Stuff:
- Yes you can use it in a modpack
- Yes you can use it on a server (I have no idea if it works, as I don't play multiplayer, so let me know if it does!)
- No, I won't backport this. I hosed up my 1.12.2 install and am still really salty about it. Feel free to make your own version :) If you do, let me know & I'll link it here.
- No, I won't make a Fabric version - but if you would like to port it, let me know & I'll link it here
- No, don't upload it to other websites. I'm only making this available here.
