This mod adds a new mechanic, called "InnerLights" which are cool fancy magicalish powers present within the player, and they are pretty much UNIQUE for every single
one of them! And you can't just spam them, they will only help you if your are in danger! It is also highly configurable, and multiplayer friendly!
Eat a Luxcognita Berry, it will guide you along your journey of discovery!
There are lots of lights, ranging from ones that grant powerful status effects like healing, to freezing all of your enemies on the spot, or even save your allies from falling from great heights by flying away! You can even summon creatures to defend yourself against dangers! Each light has a cool sound design and distinct effects, with particles, custom glowing effects, and runes appearing on your screen!
And all of this is different from player to player, so everyone will have their personal secret power!
Check the wiki for info about all of these lights. Or you could preserve the surprise and just play with the mod and find out yourself!
You can also look at the gallery!
The best way to enjoy this mod is with other people on a server, so you can use the code EMALIGHTDEV on Nodecraft for discount!
How is it unique?
The lights are uniquely determined by the player's UUID, a set of bits that are generated by the game and assigned to every entity to uniquly identify it, a bit like fingerprints or DNA.
There a few things that contribute to the uniqueness of a light, called attributes:
- First and foremost, it's TYPE, which could be HEAL, FROST, or BLAZING or whatever. This corresponds to which category/type your light is from. It's the main "ingredient"
- Then, there is the TARGET. This specifies what your light targets, aka who will be affected by the triggering of the light. It could be ENEMIES, ALLIES, SELF etc
- Starting with some numerical values we have the POWER of your light, which determines how strong your light is. It is a value used in calculating a Status Effect level, the damage done when activating the light and so on. It ranges from 1 to 10.
- We have the DURATION, which, unsurpisingly specifies how much your light remains active
- Lastly we have the COOLDOWN duration, which is how much time will need to pass between activating your light again! Your light will need some rest after spending all that energy no?
The best way to enjoy this mod is with other people on a server, so you should download something like e4mc or get a server!
How can I activate them?
In order to activate them you need to meet specific conditions, which often vary between light types. Usually, it involves fighting with another mob/enemy player and being "in danger", for example on low health, or being surrounded by many enemies. To be more precise, usally you need to meet more than one condition in order to trigger the activation. In my opinion it's better to just discover how to activate your light by playing, so I won't go in further detail here, look at the wiki instead.
Once you have met these conditions, an icon 
will appear in the top left corner signaling that your light is ready to be released. Press the keybind V (default, you can change it) and activate your light!
There is also a magical item called Luxintus Berry which lets you activate the light regardless of the conditions. It's kind of an energy drink for your inner light! Another 2 "Lux" berry are present, allowing you to change your light type and knowing which light type you have without needing to trigger it or use commands. (Check the wiki for more info!)
Starting from version 1.1.0, you can also use LightCharges! Read more about them in the wiki!
Compatibility and Hooks with other mods
This mod is compatible with ColoredGlowLib to add a custom glow color while the light is active. For the Allies or Enemies you can use Faction, OPAC, Argonauts, FTBTeams and Minecraft's teams. You can also use Flan and YetAnotherWorldProtector to enable/disable light activation in certain areas.
There are no currently know incompatiblities with other mods. Let me know if you find any!

# Luxcognita Overhaul - An in-game guide!
Now there are proper guides and explanations in the mod itself! Woohoo! Only took, two/three years?
Eating a **Luxcognita** berry will now open up a custom "Luxdialogue" screen, where you will be able to ask the
"light of knowledge" herself *(kind of)* everything that you need to know. You can also chat a bit about random things, but
be careful, she gets upset fairly easily!
Mainly, you will interact using buttons displayed in the bottom half of the screen, while in the top half there will be
the main text, which is what Luxcognita is saying. There will also be some images and "scenes" that will help you understand
what she's talking about a bit better.
I could list all the dialogue options and things, but it's way too much stuff and you can just open up the game and eat
a berry to see it for yourself.
Some features of note:
- You will be invulnerable (not unmovable!) as long as you see the luxdialogue screen, but as soon when you get attacked, you'll get a warning and the screen will automatically close.
- While talking, you will also appear translucent to other players! (who knows where 'you' *really* are uh?)
- Some dialogues will only be unlocked after others, for example, you won't reach the main dialogue unless you have completed the intro dialogue
- The dialogues are formatted as json files, and in theory you can add your own using a resource pack. Let me know if you would like a guide on how to do that, or if you have suggestions for more dialogues, please add an issue (or a pull request!) on github!
- A background music will also play in the background
## Backend/Code-wise updates
The code that manages the light types (the things that give you the powers) has been migrated to a registry,
(hence the major version bump, which is a very breaking thing), which should make adding more light types considerably
easier, potentially allowing a future API to add more lights using addons (not currently planned, but still).
This was already present in the alpha 1.4.0 alpha release of the mod.
## Changes and additions
### Commands
- Added the /light spoof command, that will allow you to copy another player's light attributes, using their UUID
- Added /light set dialogueProgress add/remove to manage the dialogue progress states (the "gates" that prevent a player from seeing certain screens and stuff)
#### Main config
- Added config option to set custom maximum power level settable using commands (won't affect the natural maximum power level cap)
- Added config option to give new players a Luxcognita Berry as soon as they join for the first time (as a sort of introduction tutorial)
- Added an option set for how long the action bar/overlay messages are displayed on screen
- Added a new config tab related to the Luxdialogue options where y
WARNING! DON'T USE THIS IN PRODUCTION/SERVERS! USE THE EARLIER BUILD INSTEAD!
Also added a new config option that allows you to increase the power level that you can set for a player using commands
WARNING! YOU SHOULD'T USE THIS IN PRODUCTION, USE THE EARLIER VERSION INSTEAD!
## Aura lights!
A new category of lights, beside the effect-based ones (well technically almost all of them use effects) and the "elemental ones".
These first ones added are ForestAura and ThunderAura, and you have a roughly 6% chance of getting them. (They are still based on you uuid so it's not chance per se, but more of the "chance you have of having a compatible uuid" with it)
Take a look at the demo [video!](https://youtu.be/uK9lecpjKzY
)
### ForestAura
This light is linked to the essence of the forest, be it the soil or the plants. Whenever you activate it, you will be communing with the forest and thus you will turn green! (photosynthesis ehy?)
It has two target types:
- SELF**: Once activate, your matter and the matter of the forest will become one thing, and you will be able to pass through forest blocks (defined in a dedicated tag), like dirt logs and leaves.
Based on the power level of your light, you will also be able to tell apart friend from foe!
- ALL**: This variant will be harnessing the power of the secondary metabolites of forest plants: it will spawn a few different "puffs" of various substances around the caster, and they will affect every other entity around them,
Intoxication, that will randomise the movement controls, and make the player see... well peculiar stuff. (configurable in the config for accessibility). It will also make them jump around!
You are immune to suffocation damage while you have your light active, but be aware of its timer!
To trigger this light, you (generally) will need to be: low health, in a forest biome, be surrounded by leaves or hold a sapling.
The relevant checks are performed when: you get attacked, you attack, an ally dies. More info on the wiki.
### ThunderAura
This one comes with the power of bellowing thunder and the strength of its lightnings. Whenever you activated, you will become a bit yellowier than before. And statically charged probably too.
It has three target types:
- ALLIES**: Upon activation, you and your allies will be shielded by the thunder, with a globe of electrical particles floating around you. This forcefield will
A "zap" sound will also be played, and particles displayed. The strength of the repulsion and the damage are scaled on the power level. The size of the forcefield is scaled by the size of th
