Description from the author on Modrinth

Light Levels for Polytone / OptiFine

Colors different light levels (0, 7, 11) so you know where to put light sources to prevent mob spawning. Implemented using custom lightmaps.

Custom lightmap support is currently not available in Polytone for Minecraft 1.21.10 and later, so you may only be able to use the resource pack with OptiFine.

When using OptiFine, requires: Custom Colors: ON, Smooth Lighting: OFF, Dynamic Lights: OFF

Remember to check server rules before using resource packs like this in multiplayer.
