Dynamic Lights Shaders adds a helpful glow to the items you hold in your hand. This shader acts as a simple tool for players who explore dark caves or walk around at night. Instead of placing torches on the ground, you can just hold a light source to see where you are going. It keeps the normal game style while giving you a clear view in dark spots.
Features:
- Makes held items act as real light sources while you walk.
- Keeps the standard vanilla look of the game without heavy visual changes.
- Helps you save torches because you do not need to place them everywhere.
- Lights up the area around your character instantly when you hold a glowing item.
- Runs well on most computers because it focuses only on the glowing item effect.
