Authentic Dynamic Light

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.
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
}
}
}
