Stay in the Light

Step into darkness and you die instantly.

How it works

• Every tick the pack checks the light level at every player's feet.
• If it's below 5, the player dies on the spot.
• It's the combined light level, the same one mob spawning uses: the brighter of block light (torches, lava, glowstone) and sky light, with sky light dimmed by time of day and weather.
• Players in creative and spectator mode are ignored.

Limitations

• Nights outdoors are deadly. At midnight open-air sky light drops to 4, so without a light source nearby you die; in rain it starts even earlier, at dusk.
• Respawning at night can turn into a death loop: if your spawn point is dark, you die again right after respawning. Keep a light source next to your bed or spawn.

Configuration

The threshold is set in data/stay_in_the_light/function/tick.mcfunction: light:{light:{max:4}} kills at 4 and below. Raise or lower the number to change it, then run /reload.
