Colored Lamp

Overview

Colored Lamp is an indicator block that increases its brightness based on the incoming Redstone signal strength.

The lamp can be recolored using Stained Glass Panes, allowing players to customize the appearance of indicators for decorative builds or complex circuits.

Configuration

By default, the Colored Lamp uses the color #F2BD74, which closely resembles the color of a standard Redstone Lamp.

Right-clicking the block with any Stained Glass Pane consumes the pane and applies its color to the lamp.

Right-clicking the block with Colored Lamp item copies the color and consumes a Stained Glass Pane if one is present. The Colored Lamp item can then be placed and the color will be applied.

If a Stained Glass Pane is in the off-hand slot, then using the Colored Lamp item consumes the pane and applies its color to the lamp. The Colored Lamp item can then be placed and the color will be applied.

• Applying a new pane replaces the previous one and drops the previously used pane.
• Breaking the Colored Lamp will also drop the currently applied pane.

The resulting color depends on the pane used:

Yes, applying a Black Stained Glass Pane will make the lamp appear pitch black, and it will still emit light normally.

Internally, the lamp color is stored as a 3-byte array in the block entity (color). This value can be modified using commands to obtain any RGB color, not just those available from stained glass panes.

Instead of Stained Glass Pane, any other item with tag:

• version 1.20.4 and older: forge:stained_glass_panes
• version 1.20.6 and newer: c:glass_panes and c:dyed (both are required)

can be used.
