Now the addon can be used without issues alongside the Action and Stuff addon and any other addon with custom animations or textures that modify vanilla items.

Torch off-hand Mechanics

Items in the offhand can be equipped by using them, do not try to place them directly in the slot, as that will not work. What you need to do is hold the item in your hand and use it without looking at a nearby block; this way it will automatically be placed in the offhand slot. If the item you want to equip in the offhand can also be placed on the ground, make sure not to look at a block when performing this mechanic.

All items that have this message in their lore can be equipped in the offhand. If the item does not have this message, it means it cannot be placed in the offhand.

--Miner Helmets--

In this version, helmets with lanterns are added, providing a light level of 15 when worn and having the same durability as their regular counterparts. They can be enchanted and repaired using the game's standard materials. It is recommended that the helmet used in the crafting process does not have enchantments, to avoid losing them.

Crafting them is simple: just place the helmet of the material you want and add a torch and leather.

-Function🔨

As I mentioned before, this addon allows you to illuminate with various items from vanilla Minecraft, such as the items in the following image,

Inventory of various light-emitting items.

The addon is responsible for adding a lore to the items that will allow you to know how much lighting this block or item is capable of emitting, and also a personal brand with the name of the addon.

--Installation Guide--

You must download the System Dynamic Light BP file for the addon's behavior, and then the System Dynamic Light RP file for the addon's textures. These two files are required for the addon to work properly.
