📋 About This Mod

**Summary: A lightweight datapack that adds dynamic lights.** # **Made By TeamJEM** Basically whenever you hold out certain items the area around you will light up without you having to place them. **Items that work : Soul Torch, Torch, Soul Lantern, Lantern.** NOTE: DOESN'T WORK GREAT ON WEAK MULTIPLAYER SERVERS ****

This is a small lightweight mod that adds dynamic lights when holding any item that creates light when placed using light blocks, NBT tags with multiplayer (Essential mod and LAN) compatability. This includes lava buckets despite the item not being a place-able block. Soft coded so it works with most modded blocks as long as they have a light source when placed! Works with offhand too! UPDATE IS OUT!!! Planning on add optifine like features in the future: No block light sources, items dropped light sources, creepers lighting up when igniting, making the code clientside but still working with multiplayer and mobs on fire creating light. If I made it like optifines dynamic I will make it a seperate mod because it does fix things like: Not being able to have light due to an enclosed area full of no-collision blocks, mobs not being able to create light. But, it adds issue like: Making mobs still able to spawn around you, makes your lights unable to melt snow and ice when near them (realistic) and a couple others. HOLY CRAP!!! I HIT 500+ DOWNLOADS IN TWO DAYS!? I was gonna update at the 100 downloads mark! But you lovely people didn't give me enough time!!! Okay, I gotta lock in! ALMOST TEN THOUSAND!???? IT'S SITTING AT 9,921 DOWNLOADS!!! I wanna update but I don't know what to do! I need to fix/nerf the shield because it's really strong, buggy, and takes up like half the screen, but since it's really strong I will make it a seperate mod. What do I do for the 10K update? Someone asked me to make a fabric version so I might... Holy good mother of the lord I don't know how to react, imagine 10K people in a room! Thanks so much! Thank you so much everyone who's installed my mod!!!
