Dynamic Lighting API

This pack is for add-on creators!

If you are an add-on creator and would like to add Dynamic Lighting to your pack,

then you should use this add-on API.

 

To use this API, you just need to put the pack on your world,

 and you need to initialize your dynamic lighting items in your pack with an API file listed before the downloads.

 

This API allows your Entities and Items to give off dynamic lighting without much hassle.

 

By default: enchanted items give off a light of 4.

 

This is all you have to do in your script to register items/entities.

 

The lightLevel parameter can only be set from 1-15.

 

Setting the offhand parameter to true will make it where you can

swap the item between your mainhand and offhand by crouching.

Be careful! This will only transfer the stack amount data due to limitations.

This API also supports dropped items now starting from v1.3.0.

 

Setting the sendError parameter to false will make the pack not send the error if this pack isn't loaded.

 

API files:

JavaScript
TypeScript

There is a pack that already utilizes this API, and it's called Simple Dynamic Lighting.

 

There is also an Example Pack that shows how to use the API.
