Light sources finally emit their true colors and tint the surroundings:

- Soul torches / soul lanterns → cyan / blue
- Lanterns, glowstone, campfires, lava → warm orange
- Froglights → magenta, green, yellow
- and many more light blocks
Custom Settings Menu

Profiles
Light blocks look different depending on the selected profile:

|---|---|
| Normal | Balanced, classic red glow |
| Strong | Stronger colors, more glow, cleaner red |
| Ultra | Maximum intensity, very pure red |
