What is Additional Lights?
Additional Lights is a lighting mod, and the pack ships version 2.1.10 of it. It is the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21, and the file is additional_lights-neoforge-1.21-2.1.10.jar.[1]
It has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier, so it is a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.[1]
Unverified I couldn't confirm from the available sources which light blocks or items the mod adds, how they are crafted, or what config options exist. This page doesn't describe them. The sources also show no quests involving the mod and no place for it on the ATM Star path, so it doesn't appear to be a progression gate. Treat it as an optional decoration and lighting mod until more details are confirmed.
How do you get started with Additional Lights?
4 parts
Additional Lights adds decorative light sources in many block styles: AlTorches, Lamps and Fire Pits. Everything here follows the crafting recipes in the pack, so you can check each one in the recipe blocks below.[2]
Start with an AlTorch
The AlTorch is the easiest place to begin. There is one for each style, for example Oak AlTorch, Stone AlTorch and Glass AlTorch. Pick the style that matches the build you are working on and craft it.[2]

Recipe id: additional_lights:al_torch_oak_planks
This is a plain mod recipe, and the other AlTorch styles follow the same pattern.
Move on to Lamps
Lamps come in matching styles, such as Oak Lamp and Glass Lamp. They are crafted with glowstone, so you will need some on hand before you make one.[2]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: additional_lights:al_lamp_oak_planks
The Lamp recipes use the same layout across the planks, stone, brick and wool styles.
Fire Pits
Fire Pits are the more involved set. The mod has separate fire items with their own recipes: Fire For Fire Pit, Fire For Fire Pit L and Fire For Standing Torch L. The large pits, such as CobbleStone Fire Pit - L, have their own recipes per style.[2]
Crafting Shaped

Recipe id: additional_lights:fire_for_fire_pit_s
The small fire item recipe from the pack.
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: additional_lights:fire_pit_l_cobblestone
A large Fire Pit recipe, which adds a style block to the fire ingredients.
Pack changes to know about
The pack changed the recipes for the Diamond, Gold and Iron styles. Each one now accepts any storage block of that material, so you are not tied to one specific block. This applies to items like Iron Lamp, Gold AlTorch and Diamond Fire Pit - L.[2]

Recipe id: additional_lights:al_lamp_iron_block
This recipe is changed by the pack and takes any iron storage block.
How does Additional Lights work?
2 parts
Here's the honest picture for Additional Lights: the only thing the pack data confirms is how its blocks are crafted. There is no guidebook, config file or tooltip text for this mod in the sources, so I can't tell you anything about machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or automation. I won't guess at any of that.[2]
What the pack data shows
The mod's items fall into a lamp family, such as Stone Lamp, and a torch family, such as CobbleStone AlTorch. Each comes in variants named after a base material, including planks, stone types, glass, wool and metal blocks. Every recipe shown in the pack data is a shaped crafting recipe, so you make them at a normal crafting table.[2]

Where the pack changes things
The pack changes the recipes for the metal and diamond variants. Diamond Lamp, Gold Lamp and Iron Lamp are all marked as changed by the pack. So are Diamond AlTorch and Gold AlTorch. In each case the block ingredient is a common storage-block tag for that material, so any mod's block of that material works, not one specific item.[2]

Unverified Whether these lights have any special behavior beyond giving off light, such as redstone interaction, placement rules, light levels or settings, could not be confirmed. The mod has no config files, in-jar guidebook or lang descriptions in the pack, so the sources here do not show any of it. Likewise, nothing confirms any power, fluid, item-handling or automation features.
How do you progress through Additional Lights?
3 parts
Additional Lights has no machines, energy or multi-step processing in the recipes here. It is a set of decorative light sources, and the "tier" of each one is the base block it is crafted from. As you reach more materials in your run, you unlock more variants.[2]
Unverified The sources here show no quest for this mod, so any quest-driven progression for it is not confirmed. Check the pack's quest book in game if you want to know whether a chapter covers it.
Lamps, AlTorches and fire pits
- Lamps, such as the Oak Lamp and the Glass Lamp. Each lamp has its own recipe built around one base block.[2]
- AlTorches, such as the Stone AlTorch and the Stone Bricks AlTorch. Each one is crafted from a base block plus a vanilla torch.[2]
- Fire pits, in a small version and a large "L" version, such as the CobbleStone Fire Pit and the CobbleStone Fire Pit - L. These recipes also use charcoal and coal. The fires have their own recipes too: Fire For Fire Pit, Fire For Fire Pit L and Fire For Standing Torch L.[2]
Here is one lamp recipe so you can see the pattern. The other wood, stone and wool lamps use the same shape with a different base block.[2]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: additional_lights:al_lamp_oak_planks
This is the mod's own recipe, not changed by the pack.
Variants by base material
This grouping is my own way of organising the variants by the block you need to get. The pack does not enforce it.[2]
- Wood: lamps and AlTorches in every plank type, such as the Spruce Lamp, Birch Lamp, Jungle AlTorch and Dark Oak AlTorch.[2]
- Stone family: CobbleStone Lamp, Stone Lamp, Smooth Stone AlTorch, and the polished large fire pits such as Polished Andesite Fire Pit - L.[2]
- Glass, wool and sandstone: Glass Lamp, Pink Wool Lamp, Magenta Wool AlTorch, SandStone Lamp and Cut SandStone Fire Pit.[2]
- Nether materials: Nether Bricks Lamp, Red Nether Bricks Lamp, BlackStone Lamp and Polished BlackStone Fire Pit - L.[2]
- End materials: End Stone Lamp, End Stone Bricks AlTorch and End Stone Bricks Fire Pit.[2]
- Ice and mossy stone: Ice Lamp and Mossy Stone Bricks AlTorch.[2]
- Metal and gem blocks: the iron, gold and diamond variants, covered below.[2]
Iron, gold and diamond: changed by the pack
The iron, gold and diamond variants are the ones the pack has changed. Their lamp, AlTorch and fire pit recipes (small and large) are flagged as changed by the pack, while the other variants use the mod's own recipes. They accept any storage block of the matching material. Use the in-pack recipes below.[2]

What changed in Additional Lights between versions?
The sources for Additional Lights are short, so this section is too. Here is what the pack's changelog and mod list confirm.[1][3]
- Additional Lights was first included in All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier. The mod list does not pin down the exact first release.[1]
- All the Mods 10 4.6 updated Additional Lights from 2.1.9 to 2.1.10.[3]
- All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Additional Lights 2.1.10, using the file additional_lights-neoforge-1.21-2.1.10.jar.[1]
Unverified No changelogs are stored for the shipped jars, so what changed inside the mod between 2.1.9 and 2.1.10 is not shown in the sources here.
