Stagelight
Stagelight adds directional spotlights that actually light what they point at. Stagelight casts a straight beam: it brightens the surfaces along its path and throws a widening cone of light onto the wall or floor where it lands. Great for stage and theater lighting, searchlights, vehicle headlights, or simply putting light exactly where you want it.
It's fully self-contained — pure vanilla + Fabric API, with no render libraries or other dependencies.
Placing & aiming
The spotlight mounts three ways and the beam points out from the face you place it on:
- Hang it under a block → beam shines down
- Stand it on the floor → beam shines up
- Bracket it to a wall → beam shines outward
The beam always travels along an axis — one of the six straight directions. Sneak + right-click re-aims it to the next direction.
Redstone control
Stagelight receives redstone like any other block, and the signal strength sets the beam:
- Stronger signal → a longer, brighter beam (analog, 0–15)
- No signal → off
- Wire it to levers, comparators, daylight sensors, or a redstone-dust line for per-lamp variation
Right-click toggles a full-power override, so a lamp works with no wiring at all. Turn the override off to hand full control to redstone — ideal for sequenced lighting cues and blackouts.
Headlights
Place several spotlights side by side facing the same way and their cones merge into one broad beam — a multi-block headlight or floodlight.
