Announcing: The AWESOME update
- rewritten from scratch to be a FML Coremod for Minecraft 1.4.2, requires Forge
- boosted efficiency A LOT, I'm positive it cannot be done any better now :3
- Dynamic Lights is now modular! See readme!
- configuration files for Dynamic Light modules can now be found at /config/
- global toggle Button can now be configured via Controls Menu
For those of you that don't know what FML Coremod means...
DRAG AND DROP INSTALL, YE GODS
This modification makes 'shining' items (default: Torch, Glowstone, Glowdust, Lit Pumpkin, Redstone, Lava Bucket, powered Minecart) illuminate everything around them if
1) the player has them equipped (in hand/armor)
2) they are dropped on the ground
3) another player has them equipped in Multiplayer
On top of that, burning Entities shine light, and Creepers about to explode light up!
You may add any Item ID you wish as shiny item, via the settings file. Also supports armor items!
Toggle button ingame:
The key is "L". You can turn all dynamic Lights on/off with it. The button can be rebound using the ingame options.
There is no limit to the number of lights you can create, note however they are fairly FPS-costly. You can disable modules to obtain better FPS!
I recommend using Optifine for replacing Notch's funky render code with slightly less funky rendering code.
The mod works in Multiplayer, yet is clientside, it cannot lag servers. Note however 'dropped' light sources will not necessarily prevent Mobs from Spawning, and neither will your handheld light.
Note: DO NOT INSTALL THE COREMOD ON SERVERS! It will crash on load.
Instructions:
See readme in your downloaded file.
Config Syntax help:
How the config syntax works:
[DynamicLights_thePlayer, DynamicLights_dropItems and DynamicLights_otherPlayers configs]
* Possible setups:
* X := simple ID X, wildcards metadata
* X-Y := simple ID X and metadata Y
* X-Y-Z := simple ID X, metadata range Y to Z
There is a default value used as "setting", you can specify one by appending "=x" to the ID part
Valid Entry examples:
torch
Torch minecraft id is "torch", will use the default light value (15)
wool
Torch minecraft id is "wool"
wool-2=12
Wool, magenta subtype (meta 2), will use a light value of 12
wool-2-5
Wool BlockID, accepts metadata range [2..5]
golden_helmet-*-*=15
Item ID range [314..317] covering golden armor, wildcarded meta/damage which means any value goes
Also unnecessarily specifying the default light value of 15, you could leave =15 out aswell
There no longer is numeric Block or Item id's. Use the string identifiers, google "Minecraft Data" to get a listing.
Values that cannot be mapped to anything will be logged and ignored
On Merged classes/mods and sourcecode:
FML Coremod! Will not need merges <3 <3 <3
To other modders: See sourcecode. Adding your own Dynamic Lights is easy.
Will you update it to 1.16?
How do I make this work with a couple of my mod entities for the 1.12.2 version?
Is this possible using the config?
I haven't found any way to add brightness to an entity on 1.12.2 and this is the closest thing. It needs to be lit up while being carried and while existing as an entity.
Also, is there a way to make the light level maybe one or two? Enough to keep the item lit at night, but not necessarily light that would help you see at a further distance at night such as carrying a torch?
Will do you do a 1.16 version of this mod? If exist already, can do you giv me a link of the mod? Thanks
1.16
So does the mod actually render light in-game, or does it just render as an after-effect? I'm asking because I'm looking for an addition to a modpack I'm making that actually renders the light in-game for compatibility with another mod.
1.16.5
Plz Update to 1.16
1.16 please
version 1.16 pls
If you have optifine for 1.16 theres a dynamic light option
update to 1.16.5
Sadly, ongoing optimization of the light system by Mojang have made it impossible for the hack Dynamic Lights uses to continue working. An update for 1.16 or later is unlikely.
In reply to atomicstrykergrumpy:
Someone made one for fabric tho
In reply to kFaithful:
its even working on forge, idk what he is talking about. even optifine has it built in
In reply to kFaithful:
can you send me it?
Please update for 1.16.4
can you port this mod to 1.16?
does the 1.8.8 version of this mod work with 1.8.9?
In reply to Engineer_YT_TTV:
no, it will blow up your pc
Any way to change the torch update interval? Looking through the configs, I can only (seemingly) edit dropped items, entities, mob equipment, mobs on fire, and other players. Playing on 1.6.4.
