Light Overhaul is an open source Forge Core-Mod that aims to replace Minecraft's lighting engine with a backwards compatible system which adds three new channels of light. A new set of lighting update routines will spread colors around, while a modified rendering engine deals with the new information. That's not all though! While colored lights are awesome, the ultimate goal of this project is to extend an API for other mod writers to use! Expect to see some mods show up that hook into the API we provide!

- Found a bug? If something from another mod didn't render correctly, please update or add it to the list of mod compatibility. I use that to keep tabs on how the coremod interact's with everything else. Something else wrong? Submit an Issue and I'll respond as fast as I can.
