Resource Pack Defaults

Resource-pack defaults provide baseline bloom strengths for blocks and fluids, plus colored-light definitions for blocks. They do not configure other Shine effects, and a player's saved settings take priority.

Bloom Defaults

Place JSON under:

assets/<namespace>/shine/bloom/<file>.json

{
  "sourceStrengthOverrides": {
    "minecraft:lantern": 200.0,
    "minecraft:lava": 180.0,
    "minecraft:soul_lantern": {
      "strength": 260.0
    },
    "minecraft:redstone_torch": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}

Keys are block or fluid IDs. An entry can be a number or an object using strength, sourceStrength, or intensity. "enabled": false resolves to zero. Shine clamps values to its supported range.

The sourceStrengthOverrides wrapper is optional. A file can use the source map directly at its root:

{
  "minecraft:lantern": 200.0,
  "minecraft:lava": 180.0
}

Colored-Light Defaults

Place JSON under:

assets/<namespace>/shine/colored_lights/<file>.json

{
  "blockLights": {
    "minecraft:lantern": {
      "enabled": true,
      "color": 16755285,
      "radius": 15.0,
      "intensity": 0.5
    },
    "minecraft:soul_lantern": {
      "enabled": true,
      "color": 5636095,
      "radius": 10.0,
      "intensity": 0.75,
      "flashingEnabled": true,
      "fadeEnabled": true,
      "onDurationSeconds": 1.0,
      "offDurationSeconds": 1.0,
      "fadeDurationSeconds": 0.5
    }
  }
}

The loader also accepts a direct root map instead of the blockLights wrapper.

Field	Value or Behavior
enabled	Enables the block light.
color	Decimal 24-bit RGB color.
radius	Light radius from 1.0 to 64.0.
intensity	Light intensity from 0.0 to 4.0.
flashingEnabled	Alternates the light between its on and off states.
fadeEnabled	Fades between states when flashing is enabled.
onDurationSeconds	On-state duration from 0.05 to 30.0 seconds.
offDurationSeconds	Off-state duration from 0.05 to 30.0 seconds.
fadeDurationSeconds	Fade duration from 0.05 to 10.0 seconds.

Merge Behavior

Shine reloads these defaults through Minecraft's client resource manager. Pack defaults load first, then local user entries override them. Resource reloads refresh the affected renderer data.

This format only covers bloom source strengths and block colored lights. Preset Packs provide named, selectable settings across multiple Shine systems, while Shine Packs define birds and interactive flowers.
