Dynamic Lighting

Light follows wherever you go.
Holding any light-emitting item will illuminate the area around you in real time,
with brightness that reflects each item's light level — a Lantern shines brighter than a Torch, just as you'd expect.

---

For a smoother and more satisfying experience,
brightness transitions gradually whenever you pick up or swap a glowing item.

---

Colored Lights

(Requires Vibrant Visuals)

Light color reflects the material of the item you're holding.

---

Offhand Mechanics

Double-sneak to move your held item into the offhand slot.

---

Keyboard users can also set up a command macro using:   /mel:swap  

Binding it to "F" gives you the same feel as Java Edition's offhand swap
— note that Bedrock's macro system requires pressing    ALT ＋ F    to trigger it.

---

Offhand-compatible items:

All Torch variants  ·  All Lantern variants  ·  Lava Bucket

---

Swapping moves only 1 piece to your offhand,
keeping the rest in your mainhand for use.

Items that Vanilla already supports in the offhand (Shield, Totem, Arrow, etc.) swap as a full stack as usual.

---

If your offhand already has an item, swapping will automatically return it to your inventory.

If your inventory is full and can't absorb it, you'll see a warning in your action bar instead.

---

Dropped Items & Entities

Thrown items emit light that follows them wherever they go.

---

Certain mobs glow as well:

Glow Squid  ·  Magma Cube  ·  Blaze  ·  Charged Creeper

---

Projectiles & Explosives

Flaming arrows glow as they fly through the air — as do Fireballs, Wither Skulls, and other blazing projectiles.

---

Lit TNT and TNT Minecarts glow in the moments before detonating.

---

A Creeper flashes with light as it begins its explosion.

---

Environmental Mechanics

Players and mobs emit light while on fire.

---

Water-sensitive items — Torches and Campfires — extinguish automatically when fully submerged.

---

Sea Pickles only glow while underwater, matching their real Vanilla behavior.
