Light-producing liquids?

[kittenykat]

It just occurred to me that I've never seen any mod-added liquids that glow and produce light on their own, like lava does. It would be kind of cool if you could have a liquid you could put in a bucket that flows like water or lava, and produces light in the same kind of area as lava, without the hazards that lava makes.

I can't possibly be the first person to think of this.

I'm playing with FTB: Revelation right now, the latest version. Are there any bucketable, pourable liquids in that pack which do this? I thought for a moment that Astral Sorcery's liquid starlight might do it, but unfortunately it just produces a particle effect, rather than light. Stepping in it gives you night-vision for a bit, but that's not quite the same thing.

And if none exist.... well, why not? Get on that! xD

actualy liquid glowstone from i think thermal expansion [sure it flows upwards instead of downwards] glows very nicely
also liquid starlight from astral sorcery i think glows too

Correct @natirs
Built a base once that used spiral pillars of Liquid Glowstone and Lava for the lions share of lighting.

Energized Glowstone, does for sure, Blazing Pyrotheum might.

Best way to make lamps out of glowstone, is to put it in a tank and place a single hardened or better quality fluiduct, then fill it from the tank. Placed buckets will eventually end up on the ceiling and I've seen them occasionally disperse.

I could be wrong but I think destabilized redstone provides light.

 

[OniyaMCD]

Energized Glowstone definitely. Even the Impulse Itemducts give off a bit of light. Blazing Pyrotheum does - but also tends to set things on fire.

BP in a hardened duct solves that issue.

Oh man, I'd love to have seen that!

 

[Cpt_gloval]

I'll look around, see if I have a screen shot of it anywhere. No promises

I've made a few double helix designs before. Maybe this image will spark some ideas for you.

 

[Cpt_gloval]

This is essentially what I had but with a glowstone bucket placed in the bottom of the water channel so it flowed up.
I has a shaft of marble up the middle of mine but same idea.

 

[kittenykat]

Nice ^-^

 

[ShneekeyTheLost]

Chisels n Bits could be your solution. I remember I used C&B to create a double-helix, one side lava and the other side water, with obsidian where they intersect, on a stone brick background, as columns around my Blood Magic altar. They provided light, but didn't have all the problems normally associated with lava.

Oil.

That is on fire.

 

[OniyaMCD]

Oil.

That is on fire.

Nowhere near as dangerous as lava.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Though depending on the installed mods, it might make you flammable which makes fire extra dangerous. And also use lava to ignite the oil.

 

[SomeRandomPetey]

I know for a fact that blazing pyrotheum from Thermal Expansion gives light, however is very dangerous.

 

[KingTriaxx]

That's why you put it in fluid conduits.
