Mel's Dynamic Lights

Mel's Dynamic Lights

Light up the world around you — just hold a torch, lantern, or any glowing item, and the light follows wherever you go.

✅ Achievement-friendly

✅ No experiments required

Dynamic Lighting

Holding any light-emitting item will illuminate the area around you in real time,
with brightness that reflects each item's light level — a Lantern shines brighter than a Torch, just as you'd expect.

For a smoother and more satisfying experience,
brightness transitions gradually whenever you pick up or swap a glowing item.

Colored Lights

(Requires Vibrant Visuals)

Light color reflects the material of the item you're holding.

Offhand Mechanics

Double-sneak to move your held item into the offhand slot.

Keyboard users can also set up a command macro using: /mel:swap

Binding it to "F" gives you the same feel as Java Edition's offhand swap —
note that Bedrock's macro system requires pressing  ALT ＋ F  to trigger it.

Offhand-compatible items:

All Torch variants · All Lantern variants · Lava Bucket

Swapping moves only 1 piece to your offhand,
keeping the rest in your mainhand for use.

Items that Vanilla already supports in the offhand (Shield, Totem, Arrow, etc.) swap as a full stack as usual.

If your offhand already has an item, swapping will automatically return it to your inventory.

If your inventory is full and can't absorb it, you'll see a warning in your action bar instead.

Dropped Items & Entities

Thrown items emit light that follows them wherever they go.

Certain mobs glow as well:

Glow Squid · Magma Cube · Blaze · Charged Creeper

Projectiles & Explosives

Flaming arrows glow as they fly through the air — as do Fireballs, Wither Skulls, and other blazing projectiles.

Lit TNT, TNT Minecarts, and TNT Sulfur Cubes
glow in the moments before detonating.

A Creeper flashes with light as it begins its explosion.

Environmental Mechanics

Players and mobs emit light while on fire.

Water-sensitive items — Torches and Campfires — extinguish automatically when fully submerged.

Sea Pickles only glow while underwater,
matching their real Vanilla behavior.
