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.
It`s does not work after update forge to 14.23.5.2838
UPD. This is was affected with Phosphor mod
I really love this mod but can't get it to work in 1.12.2. The game boots up just fine and the toggle to turn dynamic lights on and off works, but nothing actually lights up. Tried the basic troubleshooting, got nothing. Couldn't find a compatibility issue with any other mods I'm running, checked against things like BetterFPS and FoamFix with no results. Tried other versions of dynamic lights, same issue. Went into the config to be sure things like torches all had been set up, and everything there looks fine.
My best guess is that maybe Just Enough IDs might be causing some items to wrap to other values, and they aren't getting DL'ed because of getting the wrong number. But I wouldn't think that would change the vanilla item values, only ones added beyond the normal maximum, so I don't know. Any ideas about what to check from here or what I might be doing wrong?
In reply to GalileoShihari:
Im having the same problem. Though for me it does work now and then but the light updates like every five seconds, which is ridiculous. I also tried messing arround with the config and set the update time to 200ms but still nothing changed. Im very disappointed in the mod
In reply to GalileoShihari:
ive got the same exact problem
Any plans for 1.14.2 and 1.14.3?
Hi. I've tried to add the golden ring of Aether Legacy, but I couldn't. Could you write an adding mod items tutorial "for dummies"?
The ring is wearable in a non-convencional armor slot.
not compatible with dynamic stealth. holding a torch does not actually alter the server light levels meaning you are technically still standing in total darkness while holding light sources.
Is there a way to add modded items to the list? I tried to add "tconstruct:torch" to the configs but it crashes the game.
Edit: I added an "=15" at the end and it no longer crashes, but it doesn't seem to work, either.
Edit 2: It should have been "tconstruct:stone_torch=15"
Minecraft 1.13.2, forge 25.0.44, DynamicLights for 1.13.2 does not work.
Anyone got it working on 1.13.2 ?

It says in both of their descriptions these versions are not for Forge.
In reply to AtomicStryker:
oh... you can actually click on the "file" to get more info... *faceplam*
Does anyone know if there is a version on curse forge without stuttering? It's a bit odd but it gives me this wonky headache to use this version of the dynamic lights. Optifine is fine but can't include it in a pack I make.
Alternatively, use optifine's dynamic lighting, since it's more optimized. This could be a good option for those who don't know how to get optifine though.
In reply to Real_Master_64:
Or those who would rather not use Optifine because it breaks some other mods they'd rather use. (Optifine alters something that causes Schematica to crash after a few seconds of trying to visualise ghost blocks, and if disabling VBO, ghost blocks are rendered with wrong coordinates)
So yeah, hella helpful.
The only problem I have with this right now is that it lags when I'm holding a light-emitting block/item and walk near a light source/in the daytime. Lots of stuttering. My guess is light calculations are going nuts.
In reply to darthvader45:
Wanted to ask if you can disable dynamic lights in certain dimensions.
I'm encountering a weird lag spike as soon as I enter the abyssal wasteland from abyssalcraft.
I probably assume it's from all the light updates as portals generate light as well.
You appear to have an imitator.
In reply to MentalMouse42:
Does Optifine make this mod obselete if used?
Does it work with Hardcore Darkness?
