Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.11 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.10 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.9 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.7 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.6 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.5 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.4 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Resource Pack Tutorial

In your resourcepack's namespace folder (where folders like textures and models are located) create a light folder. There, you can create an emitters.json file, which defines what light colors blocks emit. Example:
assets\example\light\emitters.json

{
    "minecraft:torch": "#00FF00", // color in hex
    "minecraft:red_candle": "red", // dye name
    "minecraft:redstone_lamp": [ 0, 255, 255 ],
    "minecraft:soul_torch": "purple;5", // override light level emission
    "minecraft:oak_leaves": "light_blue;F" // value after ';' is a hex number from 0 to F
}

You can also create filters.json, where you define what light color passes through a given block. Example:
assets\example\light\filters.json

{
    "minecraft:red_stained_glass": "#00FF00", // color in hex
    "minecraft:green_stained_glass": "red", // dye name
    "minecraft:glass": [ 0, 255, 255 ]
}
