Authentic Dynamic Light

Go to files

This is a simple and powerful addon that adds dynamic light for all blocks and items, even with custom light blocks.

Why should I use this add-on? Great question. It's because this add-on is fully customizable. Other developers can add their compatibility with this add-on with a simple scripting technique. So, in the future, it should be compatible with a bunch of add-ons (I hope so).

Features:

Dynamic Light
Offhand item (right click on air while holding an item)
Documentation

Compatibility:

This addon is compatible with Novelty Addon. By using lanterns in a belt or charm slot, it will emit light without holding the items in both hands.

Lantern in Belt Charm Slot

Documentation:

You can copy the scripting library from this addon in the folder "scripts/lib/DynamicLightLib.js", the example of code:

import { DynamicLightLoader } from "./lib/DynamicLightLib.js";
DynamicLightLoader.addItemLight("minecraft:brush", 14);
DynamicLightLoader.addEntityLight("minecraft:cow", 11);
DynamicLightLoader.addEntityEventLight("minecraft:entity_spawned", 15, 100);

You can also use tag format to add custom dynamic light items. format tag you need is like:

dynamic_light:<light level 1-16>

As an example:

{
  "format_version": "1.20.80",
  "minecraft:item": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "example:custom_light_item"
    },
    "components": {
      "minecraft:icon": "brush",
      "minecraft:tags": {
        "tags": [
          "dynamic_light:10"
        ]
      },
      "minecraft:max_stack_size": 1
    }
  }
}
