A client-side dynamic lighting API mod.

💡 What is Lucent?

Lucent is a dynamic lighting mod and API designed with configurability in mind. This mod will impact your FPS, but many steps have been taken to reduce the performance cost without overhauling Minecraft’s rendering engine.


If the mod reduces your FPS too heavily, check the config file for its many settings. The most impactful options are to reduce the lightRefreshRate and to disable smoothBlending.

Mod Conflicts

• Optifine: It will work, although some dynamic lighting will behave strangely if Optifin';s dynamic lighting is enabled.
• Sodium: Many parts of Lucent will break with Sodium installed, and it is not recommended.
