Starlight (Forge) is a performance mod that completely rewrites Minecraft’s light engine to remove ghost lighting bugs and make light updates almost instant. By recalculating how light is stored and propagated, it drastically reduces lag spikes during chunk generation and large building projects, especially on a busy Minecraft server. Although archived after versions around Minecraft 1.20, it remains a top pick for optimized Forge setups that focus on speed without changing core gameplay. On BoxToPlay, it is ideal for demanding survival worlds or technical servers seeking smoother performance.
