so I decided to do some testing for the feral flare lamp, see what its range was, learned it worked seemingly any height, but also slowly and dreadingly learned that it did a 16 by 16 block area, it is a one block item, it should be focused on a radius around that block, like a 7 or 8 block radius around it making it a 15 by 15 or 17 by 17 area, not an 8 block radius focused around the south-east corner of the block its placed on, I figured it was probably made 16 by 16 focused around the corner to fit perfectly in 4 chunks, but it does not make sense that the lights are placed in within 7 blocks in 2 direction and 8 in the other 2.

I apologise if I have been rude, I was wanting to figure out how far apart I needed them to light up my build and this just makes lighting it up weird, i don't mind the 2 chunk thing, it does make sense for an easy way to place them efficiently, but on a symmetry-based build it messes up, maybe a config option to make it centred on the block or on the corner instead of forced on the corner?

ok, went into config again, realized the area dictated for feral flare was the area, not the radius. my bad, sorry
