Some gifs

• 

  • As the elevator moves, the light illuminates the surrounding area.

• 

  • Enable the light block. As the bearing moves, the light block is created and removed. You can see the light is a little flicker.

• 

  • Disable the light block and enable the LimbDynamicLight. There is no flicker, and the light is smoother.

Q&A

1. Q: Why and when to use the light block?
   • A: The Light Block is a block that emits light. It's invisible and intangible, making it ideal for creating light sources in the game world. It can affect the environment by melting ice or snow and preventing mob spawning. However, the Light Block can impact performance, and the light source isn’t smooth when the contraption moves. Therefore, I recommend using the LambDynamicLights mod for smoother lighting effects. There might be two reasons for using the Light Block:
     1. The client doesn't have the LambDynamicLights mod installed or this mod installed.
     2. You want to create a light source that can affect the environment, such as melting ice or snow.
