Or use alpha channel.

You could try, as fenixdoio said, using Alpha Channel with .tga.dds files or .dds files then change the white color in Alpha Channel to something darker than #555555 or grey colors.

Thank you for that.

What do you mean with that?

Textures dont need to be tga or dds in order to contain alpha information.
What he means is that you convert the texture to a tga/dds and edit the alpha information.
(Using photoshop for example)

Additive should be all you need.
Besides, unlike water lava ISNT translucent.

Using ur map.rs.xml.
Using useopacity, u can see the example when ur unpack mansion map, check the light Effect in the head of God Statue, See the Tag of XML.
This way is mean Alpha Chanel ?

No, all visual effects are done using additive rendering.
Everything else would be kind of even weird.
