As we all know, dynamic lights don't exist in vanilla minecraft. But Im making a mod with a dimension that is completely dark, in which you need to have a specific item to light your way. I know it would technically be possible by placing light blocks and deleting them but i don't know exactly how I could do it. I tried with the "check for block in a 6x6x6 space" tempate but it doesn't seem to work. I may have done it wrong, so if you guys know how I could do it, be blessed
I don't believe there is a fluid way to mod in dynamic lights. However, if you make your item a plant or block , for instance, make its placement conditions very convoluted and specific (or just make it unplaceable), and then create an essential modpack with shaders that render dynamic lights, you can make it work.
i have this problem too
perhaps you could make the item give the glowing effect once held
