I constantly find myself building modern houses in MineCraft as it is one of my strongest build types.
The only problem with this build type are lighting issues. I find it hard to fit in lighting in my builds.
I do use some common lighting solutions such as hiding glowstone behind paintings or underneath carpet but i find these hard to put into the floors above ground level.
I also like to put redstone lamps in the ceilings for lighting put i find there's no room for a block that outputs a redstone signal to power it.
I refuse to use torches in this style of build as it is completely alien to the environment of the modern style of builds.
For these reasons I beg you all to give as much solutions as you can to this problem.
