About

Lumina is a Minecraft mod that adds 7 differently colored glowsticks to the game. These glowsticks can be thrown and therefore can be used for exploring deep cave systems (like glowsticks in Terraria). For achieving the colored lights effect this mod is using Mirage API.

The main purpose of this mod is serving as an example of using an external library in MCreator.

Glowsticks

Glowsticks can be quite easily crafted from a stick, some glowstone dust, and a dye.

Installation

Download and install Minecraft Forge for 1.12.2
Download Mirage API from https://ci.elytradev.com/job/elytra/job/Mirage/ (select 1.12 version)
Move the download file to your mods directory (for Windows %appdata%/.minecraft/mods)
Download this mod
Move the download file to your mods directory (for Windows %appdata%/.minecraft/mods)
Run the game
(Optional) edit mirage.cfg (located in .minecraft/config) if you want to change the maximal light render distance, maximal light count,etc..

Compatibility

This mod can be played without the Mirage API, however, it will not provide any of the light effects, making it useless.
Mirage API is not compatible with mods that alter the game's rendering in a similar way (like Optifine), therefore Lumina is not de facto compatible with these mods as well.

Source

For using Mirage API in your MCreator workspace you have to edit your build.gradle file according to the instructions on Mirage API GitHub , or download alredy edited one using the link above.

Can you make this for bedrock edition?

wow

This is nice. Was gonna test it, but you beat me to it, congrats :P

Wow.. It's really cool!

Tip: Don't give out a MCreator workspace, because then people can steal and remake your mod.

interesting...

This mod is just awesome and nice to see you added a workspace so others can see how this can be done. A big thumbs up from me :)

Thank you. Hopefully, this shows that MCreator is capable of (almost) anything, even though usage of APIs is with current MCreator's editor kind of clunky.

I agree with this, I hope next update will make this somewhat easier with the accessible build.gradle file from inside the code editor.

That file is not that much of a deal. Once you edit, you do not have to care about it anymore. I meant things like formatting code without rewriting imports ( and having a key shortcut for it) or automatic error underlining (like when some field/class/method does not exist in the context of the class).

Oh, I see. We will see what can be done on this. Regarding imports, did MCreator remove your imports when reformatting code?

As long as the classes they were pointing to were used in the code they were not removed. However, I had an issue when there were classes with the same names (net.minecraft.client.resources.I18n and net.minecraft.util.text.translation.I18n), it kept replacing the 2nd one by the 1st one.

I will try to improve this, but regarding removing unused imports, this is normal. I will add another shortcut for organizing code only in the next update.

Oh, thank you!
