About
Theatrical: Extra Lights is an addon for Theatrical that expands its fixture library for building and running concert and theatre lighting rigs in Minecraft. Its fixtures include moving heads and scanners, followspots, wash and spot lights, PAR arrays, LED panels and RGB bars, blinders, strobes, lasers, scrollers, water jets, and mini-truss pieces. Lights are patched into Theatrical networks and controlled over DMX through Art-Net, with fixtures offering different channel modes and personalities for controlling features such as movement, color, and intensity. A Followspot Console lets an operator remotely aim and dim a patched followspot, with controls for focus, RGB, intensity, and pan and tilt, plus an optional first-person view from the fixture’s lens. The addon also provides a dedicated Theatrical Pyro collection with more than 50 firework launcher presets, including comets, peonies, willows, mines, and specialty shells, alongside effects such as gerbs, flame projectors, flame throwers, and confetti cannons. Pyrotechnic launchers use DMX controls for firing, launch angle, and power; effects include custom-rendered sparks, and the mod limits intense shows to help keep large rigs stable. The addon requires Theatrical and works with its configuration cards, Art-Net networks, and in-game fixture patching.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 4 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
- Modrinth and CurseForgeA release with a different file on Modrinth and on CurseForge, whose code is not the same. Each file is checked on its own. Nothing is blocked.Minecraft 1.20.1 · Fabric · release 1.3.0-release · 22 Dec 2025: Modrinthcode differs in 1 release

Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found4 of 40 changelogs read
