Skyblades Light Blocks

Description
These are Blocks the same shape as vanilla blocks (Large and Small Grid) but the act like lights, great for building, however please bare in mind each block is an individual interior light. The intensity, radius, and fall off is Double the original lights.

**Update - Fixed Small Block build stages and functional is at 99% built block**

these light blocks use 1 interior light source so it doesn't take up much CPU like the spotlights do (doesn't render shadows)

Currently Updating Blocks (adding more variations)

---- Update: blocks now should be airtight ----

****Updated Vanilla Blocks coming soon****

#### Please refrain from republishing my mod without asking me first! As modders we spend a lot our of time to make these mods (even if they are just blocks). please be respectful and at least ask first. ####

@KarlThorsten89 thanks for the feedback, as it stands i wont be updating SE1 mods anymore as i want to concentrate on SE2 mods. Im not sure it this mod would be possible in SE2 as the block system is vastly different to SE1 it maybe that it will be an amour skin that ill do but without seeing the format of SE2 i wont know what to do until then.

If you redo the whole mod, for this game or SE2, might I suggest you add blocks that emit light on all sides? Or two sides, maybe?

the texture is the original SE texture for lights, id have to do custom textures for each block which is one of the reason i added framed versions. i may redo the whole mod at some point but im kinda waiting to see if SE2 will be released before i do them

Could you clean up the block's texture? The base texture of the mod block looks mottled, and when multiple blocks are placed together, the texture doesn’t align naturally.

Great mod but I just have to ask why you for one made every block the same weight despite it's size or weight and two why are there so heavy to begin with? You got them over five times the weight of the 1x1x1 light armor block and even way heavier then the same block in heavy. I understand they take the place of armor pieces but there not armor there light boxes that really need a weight rework otherwise this is a great mod.

just checked neon tubes out and they are same as the neon blocks you change color through the block color, they dont have a intensity or range as they are emissive blocks. if you want to have range use the light blocks rather than the neon.

ill check them out, they work the same as the neon strips, you set the color through the block color i think, ive been away for a while so ill try to update this mod as soon as i can (add all vanilla block shapes)
