1.16.5
- rewritten to work with MC 1.16.5
- the mod now uses fake air and water blocks to achieve light (rapidly placing and removing them as light sources move)
- this has several limitations, only full water blocks can emit dynamic lights (not waterfalls or partial block rivers)
- it will also not work if the light source is inside some non-air block like foliage or spiderwebs
- the mod is now a "standard" mod that requires both a client and a server to have it when playing online
- currently only the player self light and dropped items modules are implemented
- there is also no on-off button
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
You may add any Item ID you wish as shiny item, via the settings file. Also supports armor items!
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 added Dynamic Lights to the Multiblock Madness modpack, but it’s not working. I’m holding a vanilla torch, and tried dropping it as well, but it doesn’t light up the area around me at all. OptiFine is not installed. Do you know what the problem could be?

I touched on this mod in the video I made below.
If you're interested in watching it, you can use the timestamps to navigate to the specific section you want to watch.
Despite this working most of the time, I did have a few issues where a torch would stop glowing in my hand momentarily every once in awhile. Is there a fix for this?
Work with Rubidium?
unfortunately, there is some sort of bug where my model glows after dropping torches
Works great for me. Thanks for this mod! Needed to have a dynamic hand light along with Minecolonies (requires vanilla video settings for certain aspects of it to function/display properly)
Running forge 1.19.1
In reply to MajorTom77:
Hey, can you maybe give me the file your using? Can't find it for some reason.

I just used the one here. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/dynamic-lights/download/3933882
What a difference between this and Optifine one?
In reply to segoitch:
Optifine does it better, but this one works without Optifine and is probably as good as dynamic lights can get without Optifine.
In reply to DiscouragedPanda:
wth do you mean "does it better" ?
it kinda sucks that this mod needs to be installed serverside as well
Hi, this doesn't seem to work with enchanted items?
I've tried adding the NBT data to the item in the config, but that didn't seem to work. Is there any way I could get this to function?
In reply to ObjektivC:
This goes for all items with NBT
is it compatible with rubidium and oculus?
In reply to fripicodelock:
i just tried, sadly not
im not sure if i did something wrong but the light from torches and other stuff doesn't work if the item is held on the offhand, is there an option or solution to this?
edit: it works with different shaders.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work without Optifine. I have Forge installed, and placed it in my Mods folder, but the option to choose Dynamic Lights or at least have it active is not working. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
In reply to daviddv0601: optifine already... has dynamic lights? you don't need another mod to add dynamic lights to something that already has dynamic lights
NICE
