Description

 

This modification makes 'shining' items illuminate everything around them if

1) the player has them equipped (in hand/armor)
2) they are dropped on the ground


You may add any Item ID you wish as shiny item, via the settings file. Also supports armor items!

There is no limit to the number of lights you can create, note however they are fairly FPS-costly.

 

- the mod now uses fake air and water blocks to achieve light (rapidly placing and removing them as light sources move)
- this has several limitations, only full water blocks can emit dynamic lights (not waterfalls or partial block rivers)
- it will also not work if the light source is inside some non-air block like foliage or spiderwebs
- the mod is now a "standard" mod that requires both a client and a server to have it when playing online



Instructions:
Put downloaded file into mods folder
 

 



To other modders: See sourcecode. Adding your own Dynamic Lights is easy(tm)
