Lighting in Release 225 Status

So it gives you much more building control, but it will leave a legacy of darker builds.

One idea would be to allow the Transformation Chisels to change the brightness of Gleam, Refined Gleam, and Gleam Lanterns. In the same way that you can use the chisel to program the LED blocks, we could use the chisel to brighten the gleam blocks. They could go from “dark gleam” where they emit almost no light, through the current config, up to a bright version. This would allow players to rebalance their own builds. This would also give players much more variation when building. The advantage of using the chisel is that there would be no need to rebuild - instead blocks could be brightened by simply chiselling them.

TODO - explore the idea of using Transformation Chisels on Gleam to change their brightness.

For thos who enjoyed having a bright build, such a chisel will become mandatory, unfortunately.
To be honest, I’m just concerned about having that sort of tunning feature hidden behind the Centraforge. Way too many features already are. You tie new features like liquid-breaker to the Centraforge at every update, too.

I’d rather you guys worked on this suggestion first (or soon after) : CRAZY IDEA : Chisel pie-menu
