Dynamic Lights | items & entities

This add-on introduces a dynamic lighting system that allows players to illuminate their surroundings in real time without permanently placing light sources.
Any item that emits light will provide dynamic illumination when held in the main hand or offhand, following the player smoothly as they move through caves, tunnels, and dark areas.

The add-on also adds special torches and lanterns that can be equipped in the offhand. To place them in the offhand, simply interact with the item as if you were placing a block while looking at an air block, or open the inventory and move it manually to the offhand slot.

In addition, certain light-emitting entities such as Blaze, Magma Cubes, and Glow Squids also produce dynamic light while moving in the world, enhancing immersion and atmosphere.

This add-on does not require experimental features.

Torches and lanterns can be crafted by placing their normal or waxed variants in a crafting table or in the inventory crafting grid to obtain a version that can be equipped in the offhand.
To obtain the regular (vanilla) item again, you only need to craft the custom torch or lantern, which will return the normal version.

In Creative mode, the add-on includes a dedicated item group that displays all available items that can be equipped in the offhand, making them easy to find and test.

This add-on also includes dynamic lighting for certain mobs, such as Blazes, Magma Cubes, and Glow Squids, allowing them to emit light while moving through the world.
