📋 About This Mod

**Lighten Up, Chunks!** is a Fabric mod for rebuilding lighting in already-generated chunks. It’s designed for worlds where saved light data is missing, broken, or stale, causing black chunks, dark patches, or incorrect long-distance rendering in tools like Voxy. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a1edf7c7c931adc93cd4f6c2d888e728976dcef5.gif) Instead of requiring players to manually travel through affected terrain, the mod processes existing chunks in bulk and writes corrected lighting back to disk. It supports whole-world scans, targeted region scans, and radius-based scans, with progress tracking, config options, and commands inspired by Chunky. Features: - Relight existing chunks in bulk - World, region, and radius scan modes - Designed for fixing broken saved lighting, not generating new terrain - Writes corrected lighting to disk - Sends updated chunk/light state back to connected clients - Boss bar progress display with configurable info - Mod Menu config support - Singleplayer-friendly workflow - Commands similar to Chunky Use cases: - Fix black or unlit chunks in old worlds - Repair stale lighting after modpack changes or broken saves - Improve distant world rendering for Voxy and similar LOD tools - Relight a specific damaged area without touching the whole world - Process an entire explored world over time How to use with Voxy: 1. `/luc start` - wait until completion 2. `/voxy import current` - wait until completion 3. Enjoy your darkness-free world!
