About this Mod

⚠️ NOTICE:

Lively Lighting is still in early development. Features will be refined in future releases. With it being in beta, you can expect bugs. Please report all bugs on the GitHub issues tracker or my Discord server.

❓How It Works

Lively Lighting uses Light Blocks to simulate dynamic lighting. Since the lighting is from Light Blocks, the light will interact with the world (i.e. melt ice or prevent mob spawning)

✨ Features

  • Dynamic Lighting for held items
  • Dynamic Lighting for specific entities
  • In-game commands to change config
  • TONS of configurable options

πŸ”— Mod compatibility

  • Valkyrien Skies Support: Lively Lighting has native support for Valkyrien Skies. The current beta version is broken, and it is not recommended for use in your survival world. In the future, light will propagate onto ships using the light block, and ships will be able to support dynamic lighting as they move around.
  • Colorful Lighting (Sodium Compat): Dynamic Lighting works with Colored Light

This mod was inspired by Tschipcraft's Dynamic Lights Datapack
