Lost Cities Modern Tweaks (Lights Off Edition)
This data pack (packaged as a mod) is a modified version of the "Lost Cities Modern Tweaks" data pack. It contains the same content, except that most light sources have been removed. This creates a more challenging gameplay experience and better suits post-apocalyptic settings.
⚠ You need to have The Lost Cities mod installed to use this data pack ⚠
The lighting option provided by The Lost Cities mod currently only works for torches, not for other light sources. Therefore, it was necessary to create a separate data pack.
Main Changes
- Street lamps have been completely removed
- Lanterns in buildings have been removed
- Lighting in railway systems has been replaced with blocks that do not emit light
Compatibility
This data pack has been tested with various standard Lost Cities profiles. However, it's impossible to test every modded environment that significantly alters world generation. If the data pack works without issues - great! If not, you may need to remove it or manually resolve the problem if you have the appropriate experience. Do not report issues caused by this data pack to the Lost Cities mod authors!
Compatibility with Other Lost Cities Data Packs
Before version 1.0.10 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 2.0.7 for Minecraft 1.12.1, compatibility is unlikely for the following reasons:
- This data pack modifies many elements of the base mod (for example, affects all parts with torches)
- Currently, the Lost Cities mod does not support merging city styles or building definitions
Starting from version 1.0.10 for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 2.0.7 for Minecraft 1.12.1, general compatibility has been improved, as the data pack moved most changes under its own namespace lcmt. The data pack only overrides the following files from the base Lost Cities mod:
lostcities/lostcities/worldstyles/standard.jsonlostcities/lostcities/worldstyles/standard_everywhere.jsonlostcities/lostcities/citystyles/citystyle_border.json
These overrides help activate all changes by default, so to use them you need to manually create new Lost Cities profiles.
Compatibility with Other Mods
Should be compatible with mods that work with The Lost Cities. Chests and barrels added by this data pack are also compatible with mods like Lootr.
Dependencies
- The Lost Cities
If you're using the mod version, dependency checking should be performed automatically by the mod loader. However, if you're using the data pack version, you need to manually ensure compatibility with your installed version of the Lost Cities mod:
- Minecraft 1.20.1: requires The Lost Cities 1.20-7.3.6 or higher, starting from Lost Cities Modern Tweaks 1.0.7
- Minecraft 1.21.1: requires The Lost Cities 1.21-8.2.6 or higher, starting from Lost Cities Modern Tweaks 2.0.4
Permissions
You can freely use this data pack in any mod packs. The MIT license also gives you significant freedom to make additional modifications yourself (since the source code consists of JSON files included in the pack).
