Dynamic Lights By CreepermeYT

An OPTIMIZED datapack that brings dynamic lights to your world!

Glowing Features

(see images in gallery)

• Common Items
• Entities on Fire
• Lit TNT
• Glowing Glow Squids
• Entities with Glowing effect

Note: Glow Squids and Entities on Fire will only glow if they are less than 48 blocks away from a player. Lit TNT will generate a maximum of 16 dynamic lights for optimization purposes.

Server-side

This datapack is fully server-side which brings the following advantages:

• Install it once, works for everyone!
• Lights are not just visual, they will prevent mobs from spawning!
• Specifically optimized for servers, close to no hit on performance!

(Close to 50% faster than similar datapacks)

Config Menu

There is a built-in chat config menu. You need OP to access it with the following command:

/function dynamic_lights_by_creepermeyt:.config

In the menu you can:

• Toggle the glowing features individually
• 'Uninstall' to disable all dynamic lights before you remove the datapack from the datapacks folder

Keep in mind

There is one disadvantage in this datapack:

• Not ALL light-emitting items are included, but the most common ones are, so you will probably not notice it.

All dynamic lights datapacks using 'light blocks' will suffer from these same problems:

• Light blocks / Dynamic lights cannot be placed inside no-collision blocks or flowing water.
• Light blocks from map makers will get deleted if a player with dynamic lights passes by.
• Dynamic lights will look blocky and not fluid in motion because of the nature of light blocks.
