    About

    Better Lights is a resource pack that refreshes Minecraft’s lighting and related visuals, aiming for a cleaner, more natural look. It gives sea lanterns an LED-like appearance, adds animated torches, changes lighting hues and froglight colours, and includes glowing armor trims. The pack also removes fog and the vignette, adds fullbright, and makes rain and particles less obtrusive. Other changes include endless end rods, a redstone torch design, smaller utilities, and a simplified glowing cave urchin line.

    Security

    Not checked yet

    Its author does not let other sites download its files from CurseForge, so we cannot check them.

    Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · Not checked yet
    • 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.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    Made with AI: not checked yet

    We have not looked for AI tools in it yet.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
