Lilium Dynamic Light - Bedrock Edition

Lilium Dynamic Light is a vanilla-friendly, standalone addon that brings realistic dynamic lighting to players, mobs, and dropped items in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, without modifying a single vanilla block or entity component.

✅ Features

• Dynamic Light for Players, Mobs & Items: Torches, lanterns, glowstone, and dozens of other light-emitting items automatically light up your surroundings when held, worn, or dropped.
• Colored Light (Vibrant Visuals): With Vibrant Visuals enabled, light takes on the color of its source, 16 dye colors plus automatic tints for vanilla items and placed emitting blocks (Soul Lanterns -> blue, Redstone Torches -> red, etc.). Falls back to standard white light when Vibrant Visuals is off.
• Expanded Detection Range Controls: Adjust entity/mob light detection distance up to 128 blocks and emitting block scan radius up to 32 blocks directly in the General Settings menu.
• Native 20 FPS Zero-Lag Engine: Ultra-fast 1-to-1 dynamic light tracking with zero movement trail and instant auto-cleanup.
• Smart Multi-Owner Blending: Light dims progressively as sources move away, instead of switching off abruptly.
• Fire & Explosion Reactivity: Burning entities and charged/exploding Creepers emit their own glow.
• Double-Sneak Offhand Gesture: Quickly swap your light source to your offhand while keeping a weapon in your main hand.
• In-Game Configuration Menu: Toggle features, adjust detection ranges, and register custom light items/mobs/blocks, all in-game.
• Crash-Safe Persistence: Light placements survive world reloads and recover safely after a crash.
• Public Tag & Component API: Other addon creators can make their items and mobs glow with simple tags, and their blocks with a single JSON component, no scripting required.

🏷️ Third-Party Public API & Custom Components

📦 Custom Item Tags

Add these tags to any custom item JSON (minecraft:tags) to emit dynamic light:

👾 Custom Mob / Entity Tags

Assign these tags to entities/mobs via spawn event commands (/tag @s add ldl:...), .mcfunction, or Script API (entity.addTag(...)):

Tags can be applied at any time, so a mob can start or stop glowing while alive by adding or removing its ldl:level_light_{n} tag.

🧱 Custom Block Component

Add the ldl:light component to any custom block JSON to emit dynamic light, no scripting required:

{
  "format_version": "1.26.0",
  "minecraft:block": {
    "description": { "identifier": "my_addon:crystal" },
    "components": {
      "ldl:light": { "level": 15, "color": "purple", "water": true }
    }
  }
}

The consuming block must declare format_version 1.26.0 or above; earlier versions reject the component. Each block declares its own values, so different variants of the same family can emit different levels.

🛠️ Addon Specifications (Bedrock)

• No Experiments: Does not require experimental gameplay toggles—works right out of the box in any survival world or realm!
• Compatible Version: Supports Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.0 and above.
• Maximum Compatibility: Does not modify vanilla blocks or entity components.
• Scripting & Localization: Powered by @minecraft/server v2.8.0 and @minecraft/server-ui v2.1.0, fully localized into 19 languages.

⚠️ Bedrock Limitations & Performance Notes

• Light Block Based: Dynamic light is simulated using invisible light_block placements, as Bedrock has no native way to attach light to moving entities.
• Colored Light Requires Vibrant Visuals: Tinted light only shows when the Vibrant Visuals graphics option is enabled. Without it, all dynamic light renders as standard white light.
• Emitting Block Scan Performance: Setting the Emitting Block Scan Radius above 6–8 blocks in General Settings significantly increases spatial block checks per tick and may cause performance lag on lower-end devices. It is recommended to keep this setting at 4–6 blocks for optimal performance.
