## Features Supported entities and items such as torches or lanterns will emit light by using the light block added in 21w13a. Some items are water sensitive and only turn off or on inside water. Additionally, all enchanted items will emit light level 6 while some enchants under certain conditions emit light level 9. For a detailed overview of all supported items and entities, take a look at the wiki pages linked below. This data pack/mod is completely server-side, but can also be installed on the client for single-player worlds only! [-> For a detailed overview and available settings, take a look at the wiki <-](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/dynamiclights/wiki) #### This vs. LambDynamicLights & others? [-> Take a look at this wiki page](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/dynamiclights/wiki/Tschipcraft%27s-Dynamic-Lights-vs.-LambDynamicLights-%26-others) ## Installation This data pack is also available as a mod with an additional global config file and settings menu when installed alongside [MidnightLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/midnightlib). Decide if you want to download the pack as a pure data pack [DP] or packaged as a mod [Mod].
Put the pure data pack .zip file into the `datapacks` folder of your Minecraft world, or the mod into your `.minecraft/mods` folder. ## Manage To open the ingame menu, execute `/trigger tschipcraft.menu` or `/function #tschipcraft:menu`. There is a **Reset** and an **Uninstall** button. ## Current issues >

> > Affecting v1.8.4 and v1.8.5 in Minecraft 1.20.6 and below: > Chat is permanently flooded after using the menu command in Minecraft 1.20.6 or below - [see #66](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/dynamiclights/issues/66). This will be fixed in a future release. For a quick fix, run the command `/function dynamiclights:internal/menu_reset` with operator permissions. ## Compatibility Supported Minecraft versions

This data pack follows the [Smithed](https://wiki.smithed.dev/conventions/) and essential [MC Datapacks Discord Server](https://mc-datapacks.github.io/en/conventions/index.html) Conventions to ensure data pack compatibility. Some sophisticated **redstone** contraptions may not work when this project is installed, since the light block is not pushable for some reason. [Please report any issues on GitHub](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/dynamiclights/issues). Current issues related to this: [#51](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/dynamiclights/issues/51) You can run Dynamic Lights on **NeoForge** when installed alongside [Sinytra Connector](https://modrinth.com/mod/connector). Make sure to skip the pre-game warning that Dynamic Lights is also a Forge mod. ## External Links
