While the mod kind of does still worth in 1.22.7, it spits out literally over 100 errors. Unfortunately, we're going to have to remove this.

Still works in 1.22.2 :)

Fictive_Storm - OMG FIGURED OUT WHY I THOUGHT YOUR CANDLES WEREN'T WORKING IN THE VANILLA CHANDELIERS!!!

Colorful Candles has a conflict with More Candles!! You both patch the vanilla chandelier to get your candles working on it, but obviously only one of those patches can exist at a time. So the one test I did where your candles did NOT work on vanilla chandeliers was specifically because the More Candles patch is the one that won the patch-brawl that time (no idea what else to call this situation :P).

Fictive_Storm - I'm in the same boat, darling XD VERY new to coding.

Also, you are totally right your candles DO work just fine on vanilla chandeliers. My partner and I are working on an update for the compat code (so that names of candles appear in the filled chandeliers) and I must just have full-blown candle blindness at this point from all the testing.

Testing on my end showed it was working with both vanilla chandeliers and all your variants of chandeliers. I have files implementing the behavior in the src folder, and there's a patch file that's changing the Vanilla Chandeliers to switch to my new BlockClass. Maybe this is the issue somehow? Not entirely sure why it works fine on my end though.

I truthfully am not a coder in the slightest. I've been learning as I go, so maybe there's a better way of doing it that I haven't realized?

Fictive_Storm - hey darling! Was doing a big round of testing on ChandelierCraft and discovered your Colorful Candles cannot be placed on vanilla chandeliers at all. The variants for chandeliers loaded with your candles exist in the creative menu and in the handbook, but when we try to actually place them in the chandelier - nothing happens.

Good news though, they still work as intended on the ChandelierCraft chandeliers! My partner suggested that you probably need a DLL file for the mod to implement that behaviour with vanilla chandeliers.

Fictive_Storm - heckin LOVE your candles, it was obviously a must.

Oh my gosh, that's so cool! Thanks!!

Fictive_Storm - just posted an update to ChandelierCraft so your beautiful candles can go on my chandeliers!!

Hopefully I fixed all the issues people were having with Chandeliers (beyond the accepting various kinds of candles and converting them). 

Let me know if there's any other issues!

VS 1.21.1

You can place any block to chanedlier and it be a candle.. even dirt or tools and become candle. After break chandelier you got candles.. This is a candle duplication...

this mod breaks vanilla chandeliers

Since the last comment was from 2024, and this hasn't been updated to the most recent version. I was scared when first thinking about using this.

So, for anyone like me, I just wanted you to know, as of 2025, Version 1.20.12, this mod still works.

1. I'm on 1.19.8.  Just tried with no mod, pure vanilla.  Base game recipes are expressed per 4L on my side; for instance 4L water + 1 crushed cinnabar = 4L red dye, 4L water + 4 cranberries = 4L pink dye (they didn't divide by 4 for consistency between recipes).  Only exceptions are for grey/black as far as I can see since a rusty gear dyes 8L (wouldn't have made much sense to call it 0,5 rusty gear for 4L of water). 
2. Cool ty!
3. Got it, my bad.  Makes sense now.
4. Interesting!  I don't even know if my suggestion is feasible to be honest, without having to change the inner VS code, but it would certainly be a nice to have!
5. I'm adding a fifth if I may.  I just 'pruned' my world in preparation for 1.20.0 when it comes out ('/db prune' command).  Had to repeat the command several times and got a few error messages with your mod on - host connection lost - plus had to /db vacuum the database at the end.  I identified the error specifically to your mod after testing.  Mods that add items to the game and can also be left before pruning, without error and no need to vacuum, are for instance rpvoicechat or treetapper.  A mod that add items to the game and needs to be removed before pruning to prevent a CTD during pruning is for instance Mannequin.  I don't know how they work, but I hope by looking at how they were made it can be figured out (or by contacting their author maybe).

Glad to hear you're enjoying the mod!

1) On my end, the dye recipes in the hanbook are per 1L similar to mine. Not sure if that's something else changing that on your end?

2) That was a complete oversight on my end! It'll be changed in the next update, thank you!

3) If I'm not mistaken, orange dye isn't in the water help page due it not actually calling for water, just like my dyes. My dyes deal with using base game dyes instead of water, so they shouldn't appear in the water page. (just like base game orange needing yellow dye rather than water and not appearing).

4) I plan to do this at some point, but it's proving to be quite difficult with how Candle bunches are. As for Chandeliers- I've just found out a bug due to your question! Currently, it appears when you go to put in a second color it automatically converts them to whatever the first color was.  Essentially- if you put in a red candle and then a blue- it'll appear red and you lose the ability to get that blue candle back. Oops. 

Hi, loving the mod so far. A few thoughts to consider, thank you for your time:

1. The handbook dye recipes are given per 4L, could your mod do the same for easiness of conversion?
2. Borax requirement for lavender and mint dyes seem a bit excessive imo (currently it's 4 borax for 4L of lavender or lime);  For comparison in base game it's 2 borax for 4L of white dye, 1 crushed cinnabar for 4L of red dye, 1 crushed lapis lazuli for 4L of blue dye.
3. In the handbook, water help page.  It doesn't link to any of your new dyes.
4. Allow to mix different color candles laid on the top surface of a single block (haven't checked if you can mix and match them in the same chandelier too).

Thanks!

Just put up a new version specifically for 1.19.8. 

Hoseph

Thank you so much! Your suggestion is something I was considering to do as well, so consider it planned!

@SteAStro88 I haven't tested this but The More Candles Mod does.  It is more complex and requires A Culinary Artillery and Expanded food but has beeswax, lard, and soywax candles.  Each takes colors differently.  It is a lot of extra work to make the waxes.

Hey, Is it compatible with 1.19.8?

I've never commented before and I wanted to say this is a delightful mod so far. We're in dire need of more dyeable items and I already love candles. 

For suggestions on what kind of effect colored candles would have: how about text describing the smell of the candles? Each color corresponding to a particular scent. 

Oh, HECK YEAH!
